"The live migration feature has been great and is something we use very often."
"Very user-friendly and simple."
"I find the simplicity of Sangfor very valuable. It is easy to configure and user-friendly. The overall user experience as well as the usability of Sangfor is outstanding."
"I would rate the user-friendliness an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The solution provides a single management console."
"The Continuous Data Protection (CDP) feature is one of the good features."
"Sangfor HCI has a bundle of security features that are easy to monitor on the HCI dashboard."

"As with all enterprise software licensing, the pricing is not intuitive and must be negotiated; grandfathered contracts are better than anything offered today."

"Most of the competitors are offering some sort of billing software to transform their installation to work as a small-sized public cloud, but those offerings from OpenNebula are still missing."
"It should have a simple REST API like most other tools. It's the industry standard format. An XML-RPC API gives you an XML document that you have to convert and then do something with that. REST API endpoint provides outputs in a JSON document. I would also like to see support for user data or heat templates, which OpenStack offers, but OpenNebula doesn't have this yet."
"The initialization is not fully automated and has room for improvement."
"The processing speed and cost should be improved."
"Lacks network support."
"One question that has come up frequently in the last week is whether or not the renewal cost for Sangfor's HCI solution is too high."
"There is a feature to upgrade multiple VMs simultaneously, but it crashes."
"I would want the product to include Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which can help to easily retrieve the data."
"The interface could be a little bit better."
"We have had issues while integrating VMware with Sangfor HCI. The tool should be also faster in terms of customization."
