Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"StarWind Virtual SAN can improve an organization's storage infrastructure by providing high availability, scalability, cost-effectiveness, performance, and ease of use."
"The support has been amazing and quick to reply."
"Their support goes above and beyond with the integration of their software."
"It has a nice, simple control panel. You can clearly see the state and health of storage along with the synchronization."
"StarWind vSAN has a lot of great features and is a perfect solution for mirroring internal disks and flash between servers."
"The instant failover, with vSAN copying data to the second node, allowed for the continuous availability of our applications."
"StarWind allowed us to deploy highly available shared storage within our budget."
"There are a lot of things I really like. Perhaps the best part is taking a snapshot of a virtual machine. It's very quick. Another useful part is replication and creating a protection domain: using the protection feature to replicate a machine to a remote site for DR purposes."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"It has been stable so far."
"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware."
"One feature we found useful was the product's complete ability to integrate with vCenter."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the visual encoding."
"This product could be improved with the inclusion of new health check procedures."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."
"It would be nice to add the ability to use raw partitions instead of file containers."
"It runs until it does not - and disaster recovery documentation is sparse and mostly unclear."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"I would like to see improvements in the documentation area."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"It would be helpful to have a little more insight into what kind of performance the VSAN cluster is utilizing; something that would be more proactive on our side, versus their ProActive Support."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"In the next release, I would like to see compatibility and support for critical applications, like SAP."
"Snapshot notification would be a good addition."
"One of the biggest problems with HCI vendors was the lack of flexibility for adding resources"
