The manageability feature is the most important aspect of the solution. Customers have told me that this is the key selling point for them. The manageability and the ability to use it across all platforms using vSAN is what makes the solution so popular.

Sangfor was very optimistic. They offer a native cloud, and all features are not in other applications. They had an edge and are continuing their research and development. They produce out-of-the-box solutions. Their solutions are also integrated. It is fully integrated with their HCI solution. It is plug-and-play. There's a good level of research and development.

Sangfor HCI is very easy to use. It has a single pane of management. When it comes to network configuration, you have to drag and drop things, so it's very GUI. It's not a conventional command line thing. Whenever customers see that, it's very appealing for them.
Moreover, whatever Sangfor offers, it is offered in a very simple package, unlike other manufacturers where, if you need a feature, it comes with the enterprise or enterprise plus. It is very simple for customers to understand whatever they offer because it comes in a single bundle. Sangfor also mentions if there is some feature you need to buy separately, and they mention it very clearly. Likewise, for other solutions, when customers buy them and check, they find that a certain feature is not there, and whenever they call them up here, they are told to buy it separately. However, it's not like that in Sangfor. This is also a powerful point where the customer builds trust with Sangfor's solutions.

After using it for 3 years only thing good about it is that it's cost less compared to Microsoft, and VMware solutions.

The features that Microsoft, and VMware gives on their Data Center and Enterprise licenses are provided by Sangfor HCI on Standard license.

Other than this there is no valuable feature.

Sangfor has many solutions, and you can easily manage their machine servers with just one management. 

They're always striving for greatness, and they continuously update their products. For example, they have now built endpoint security within the firewall. They are continuously improving not only the security but also all other products.
