"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"I like that we could choose whatever hardware we wanted, rather than having to use one particular vendor."
"The valuable features of vSAN are that you can get it up and running quickly, you get redundancy built-in, and it's pretty much the perfect solution for a cluster."
"Storage virtualization software with a good storage management feature. It's a scalable and stable software."
"It is easier to deploy than the traditional SAN."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to continue our business needs and have higher visibility. It has definitely increased our business productivity levels."
"As a function of our core business, it's a sought after tool that helps us provide analytical support across a wide spectrum of client needs. It's allowed us to test out in our connected restaurant - "TheWorks" - a fully-functional restaurant experience center that allows our clients to discover the value of our connected solutions firsthand. We deploy vSAN in this customer-like environment within a hyperconvergent infrastruction (HCI) to give our clients a better understanding and help optimize data and the end-users' experience."
"I think vSAN's stability is good. It's an underlying solution for both on-prem and in the cloud, especially the VMC on AWS stuff too. VMware has been around for a long time, so it's pretty stable."
"vSAN Health is a feature designed to monitor the health and performance of the vSAN environment. It's crucial for us and our customers to frequently check on this to ensure everything is operating smoothly."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"There is a lot that VMware could improve from a marketing perspective. The cloud is still new for many people, so extending storage should be effortless. It shouldn't be so complicated to extend the storage so workloads can access it no matter where they go."
"This is quite an expensive solution."
"I would like to see more support for applications. I think currently it only supports applications between two vSAN clusters."
"Based on my testing, I would like to expand deduplication to include hybrid deployments and not just for all-flash deployments."
"I would have liked it to have been more scalable. It's scalable but not as much as, for example, the ScaleIO systems were or the Kaminario"
"Lacks sufficient storage terabytes."
"The server files are larger than before."
"VMware vSAN could improve by having better integration with other vendors and the storage is limited, I prefer it to the traditional storage."
