"The ability for us to manage all of our nodes from the same console makes systems administration very easy."
"The support team is available to solve any problem efficiently."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"It provides shared storage to multiple hypervisor hosts. Times had changed, however. StarWind Virtual SAN is the “software replaces hardware” for SAN. We have access control and CCTV systems up and running using Microsoft clustering and shared storage"
"We like their high availability. It reduces the downtime for our entire organization's environment."
"We are able to do maintenance by bringing down one node at a time, rather than having to schedule a complete shutdown."
"It's easy to use and has a very smooth onboarding process."
"This is a very flexible solution that you are able to run however you want."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"One feature we found useful was the product's complete ability to integrate with vCenter."
"The most valuable feature is the visual encoding."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."
"One main thing this product needs to work on is reporting."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"I would like to see more user-friendly dashboards in future versions."
"I found that certain browsers are not fully compatible with the administration web access portal."
"I had issues locating the documentation that applied to my version of StarWind vSAN."
"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."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"The One-Click Upgrade process could/should offer the ability to integrate with 3rd party drivers. For example, we use NVIDIA Grid graphics cards. It would be amazing if, during the One-Click Upgrade process, we could "slipstream" additional VIB drivers for ESXi into the upgrade process."
"Deployment could be more user-friendly - currently, it requires certain skills with the network and nodes."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see compatibility and support for critical applications, like SAP."
"One of the biggest problems with HCI vendors was the lack of flexibility for adding resources"
"Snapshot notification would be a good addition."
