Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind vSAN is a great solution to create a redundant two-node-only Hyper-V cluster, both for domain or workgroup scenarios."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"The StarWind Virtual SAN management console is intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to run a two-node cluster without a dedicated witness has made this an excellent product for small deployments, which is right on target for our needs in regional offices."
"It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"The most valuable feature for us is having the ability to configure our local storage using a limited number of disks and using the StarWind VSAN software to keep the cluster nodes in perfect sync."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"It's very easy to use and quite a mature product."
"Stretch cluster allows us to warranty a service for the customer."
"By configuring networks, we are saving power."
"The most valuable features are scalability and the easy operation - if it works. You can configure everything from just one window."
"The product is stable. No one complains about the stability, which is fabulous."
"The automation is a valuable feature, it's interesting."
"The most important benefits that we've seen from this solution is that it reduces the cost of management and it has easy monitoring systems."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"With data verification, I would like to know how does the solution perform validation of data being synced between two VSANs."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"Feature-wise we are only waiting for the release of a "planned disaster" feature that would allow us to patch a hypervisor node without having to take the full storage offline."
"In all areas the product could be made faster."
"The documentation could be a little more concise, but, for the most part, it just works."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"I am expecting to see it more user-friendly in the future."
"When you will cease your contract with StarWind (for support) your product won't be updated and that is a big selling point, especially for us, as we have loads of products from StarWind."
"It would have been nice if the product provided some cloud integrations."
"One aspect that really needs to be looked at, is to fix the bugs issue."
"Technical support is very good. Not excellent, but good. There's still not enough data available on the web. For example, for the integration to VMware, I had a case recently and I searched for more information but didn't find any."
"If we compare it with VMware, the VMware product is basically very open, and it can be easily integrated with any platform. VMware product is also available on the cloud and is not an appliance-based product, whereas Cisco HyperFlex is an appliance-based product. Companies that want to use HCI as a platform or as a service would prefer something without an appliance. A SaaS-based product is better for a customer who is using the cloud and has multiple resources, workflows, and devices on the cloud and wants to go for a hyper-converged solution. This is where improvement is needed. In addition to an appliance-based product, Cisco should provide a SaaS-based product. Its price should be lower. Cisco needs to work on the pricing model for this product. Its price is a big road blocker when competing against Nutanix and VMware, which are its main competitors."
"We'd like the product to offer better integration with other products."
"Their technical support is very bad. We had an issue where instead of an engineer we got a PDF "doctor" that didn't know anything about our problem which was very frustrating."
"They can't get a POC to work because there are big latencies between the two sites we have. Even though we have a private fiber connection and everything else works well, they can't get the two products to talk to each other. They are not able to build it up. It looks like it's a firmware issue. They said it isn't but now it's looking like it is. I hope we can sort it out."
"I would like for them to develop integration with other technologies, like SD Access. It's still lacking an enhancement management player."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
