Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The install itself is easy as pie.""Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes.""The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions.""The support team is available to solve any problem efficiently.""Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete.""The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard.""The vSAN provides full redundancy for storage while reclaiming some rack space.""VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."

"The most valuable feature is that it is something small that can be more easily deployed than a full data center set of servers.""The product is stable. No one complains about the stability, which is fabulous.""The workload can handle anything and has an extended capacity.""The storage system is its most valuable feature. It has eliminated our entire need for having to worry about storage. We were storing a lot of syslog data and using a lot of templates in our data center. With the storage system, we are now saving an enormous amount of space.""It is very scalable. It is also easy to scan.""There are some slight cost advantages when you need fewer resources to manage it.""By configuring networks, we are saving power.""Our customers have seen ROI in terms of the time they save troubleshooting."

"Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."

Cons
"I'd prefer it if a remote console was provided.""I'm sure it needs bug fixes...""They require more media visibility.""A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is.""It should be improved in the way it detects the right filesystem image after a complete shutdown of the system or in the case of disaster recovery.""There is no Italian-language version of the software available.""Regular updates to the software are required, and subtle design changes would be welcome.""Updates seem to be non-existent."

More StarWind Virtual SAN Cons →

"There should be the opportunity to create more than one div group""The storage layer seems to be a little better on the VMware than on HyperFlex side.""We would like to have the ability to not have to reboot while doing updates. Being able to work through updates with as minimal amount of impact to users.""Cisco is quite expensive but not in the initial first buy.""The setup was complex, especially since we usually do all the planning, sizing, and workflows before integration.""The architecture separates data, computing, memory, and storage into different parts.""A stretch function is really needed. Germans think that because of the high availability and the security that two data centers are better but we want edge all in one cluster. This is a needed feature, the cluster feature, and we'd also like to see a possibility for ROBO offices.""You cannot just apply the VSXi updates. You are dependent on Cisco HyperFlex for metric services, analytics, and everything else. I don't like that dependency."

More Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series Cons →

"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The setup cost is very low. The pricing is great."
  • "We are happy with the price."
  • "The license is reusable. We can always rebuild it and apply the license. Then, boom, we get new servers, apply the license, and we're back up and running."
  • "The pricing is fine for the work that it does."
  • "When we did all the analysis for StarWind, it was approximately 20 percent less than any of the other solutions that we looked at."
  • "The scalability limitation for us is its licensing. At some point in the fairly near future, we will probably have to upgrade our license so we can store eight terabytes instead of four. We are currently at four terabytes, but we're starting to knock on the door of that capacity."
  • "The pricing is excellent. It will run on anything. You don't have to buy a $100,000 server, with hardware you don't need. You just pay for the license and you're good to go."
  • "The licensing is a bit weird. If you license the standard version of StarWind, it allows you four terabytes. Then, they have a pro version, but with the pro version, the only difference is it doubles the terabytes to eight."

  • "Cisco is quite expensive, but not in the initial first buy."
  • "Pricing is better if you buy more Cisco products."
  • "The pricing is a bit expensive."
  • "For customers in the private sector, this product can have a very high return on investment."
  • "If you don't look at the costs of the systems, the scalability is quite good."
  • "The price is a bit high. It could be better, but the product is worth the cost."
  • "I would like the pricing to be cheaper."
  • "Comparable solutions with switches, storage, and services are cheaper than HyperFlex. It should be cheaper."
