Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It has reduced our overall maintenance and overhead by having to only maintain physical boxes for one cluster instead of having to manage physical boxes for two clusters."
"StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere is a software-defined storage solution that has reduced administration time for storage. It's pretty straightforward to install and setup it and so far it has been robust and worked as advertised from StarWind."
"You can build cheap, reliable, replicated virtual machines clusters using simple servers with an all flash disk or SAS\SATA hybrid tiered by performance storage."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"Given the high availability of the server cluster, we were able to reduce separate physical servers onto one hyper-converged cluster - this saved in OPEX and CAPEX costs immediately, along with licensing costs of the Windows Server licenses."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"The fact that the solution is vendor-agnostic allows it to be used with any virtualization vendor while remaining a powerful abstraction over storage."
"StarWind Virtual SAN offers high availability and data resilience features to prevent data loss if hardware fails."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The most valuable features are the RBAC, role-based access control, and the reporting. NCI also provides a single platform, a single pane with a dashboard, to manage the entire infrastructure. We have complete information about overall utilization, performance, and a forecast for our platform in that single pane."
"The documentation can be better for the free tier."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"There should be some kind of active monitoring connected to StarWind vSAN, so you will be able to act when needed."
"I'd prefer it if a remote console was provided."
"If there was a way to automatically put disks in maintenance mode when shutting the host down and exit maintenance mode automatically, that would simplify things."
"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."
"They require more media visibility."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"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."
"The latency needs improvement"
