StarWind Storage Appliance Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Engineering Assistant at Bharat Electronics Limited4.5We chose StarWind Storage Appliance for its two-node solution, avoiding high VMware costs. Its management console and absence of a heartbeat node were valuable, though initial synchronization is slow. Despite challenges, it provided a good ROI and functionality.
Consultant at HCLSoftware4.0In my company, we use StarWind Storage Appliance at remote sites to support manufacturing units and users without advanced WAN connectivity. The solution offers valuable data protection and easy management, but setup configuration could be simplified.
President at EXAG Multimedia4.0I found StarWind Storage Appliance simpler and more cost-effective compared to Microsoft products due to its need for only one driver. Although its demo version should resemble the paid version, its easy integration with Microsoft made it an ideal choice.
IT Specialist & Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees4.5In our testing of the StarWind Storage Appliance, we found it delivers expected performance on various hardware setups, offers affordable pricing, responsive support, and a user-friendly interface, though it lacks flexibility in caching compared to solutions like StorMagic.
President at EXAG Multimedia4.0I use StarWind Storage Appliance with Microsoft services, finding its integration excellent and stability good. My main concerns are the free version's missing dashboard features, the learning curve for setup, and unclear pricing. I rate it 8/10.
Network Services Manager at a educational organization with 51-200 employees5.0I switched from costly, end-of-life FC SANs to StarWind iSCSI, simplifying our infrastructure with excellent ROI and performance. Its stability, scalability, and proactive support are outstanding, allowing hyper-converged deployments. I highly recommend this solution; it has no apparent flaws.
Founder at Provectus Networks5.0I find StarWind Storage Appliance offers excellent performance, instant failover, and incredible 24x7 support. It's the best value for money, making it my top choice, despite them no longer selling HDDs for primary storage.
Director of IT at a computer software company with 201-500 employees5.0I find StarWind VSAN very stable, scalable, and easy to use, dramatically improving uptime with excellent support for my Hyper-V cluster. I only wish for better integration with backup vendors and more detailed reporting.
