Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."A company can scale it easily."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"Management is simple"
"It has seamless expandability."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is its low cost, guaranteed to failover and failback with only a few clicks."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"User interface could be improved."
"It is a costly solution."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"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."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"Usually, there are separate administration teams that take care of servers, but in our organization, servers are usually looked after by the application owner. However, the application owners cannot reinstall the software, OS, and other things. That only aligns with the role of the HCI administrator. If these rights can be provided, it will be very easy."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
