"StarWind Virtual SAN offers high availability and data resilience features to prevent data loss if hardware fails."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"It provided the much-needed HA on an extremely low budget."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"This has helped to improve the reliability of service and operation in all departments, without having to stop in case of emergency situations."
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"The solution remains stable across versions."
"This operating system offers stability. Setup is straightforward."
"It has been stable so far."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support portal."
"The solution has a good licensing module."
"RHEV’s cost is much less compared to VMware."
"There aren't any bugs on the solution."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"StarWind relies on the underlying OS to manage the "SAN files" whether that would be a RAID volume, software RAID (such as LVM), etc. It would be useful if StarWind could incorporate the actual physical drive management inside of the solution, similar to Storage Spaces Direct."
"The management console of StarWind Virtual SAN is pretty complex."
"Some configuration options still demand service restarting."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"Pricing is a bit high."
"It would help us if the vendor continues to release software updates for earlier versions of the Windows operating systems."
"For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"It would be great if it could emulate some of the features that their competitor VMware has, for example port mirroring or Netflow output at hypervisor level."
"They could improve the graphical user interface."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"The GUI for this solution needs improvement."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"While everything needs improvement in some way, I have no specifics."
"Configuring the network interfaces is much better in Ubuntu and should be improved."
"We'd like it if it would be possible on Red Hat Virtualization to possibly connect two or three VMs to the same disk."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"There is not any proper documentation on the site to reference."
"This solution could be more secure."
