Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It integrates (fully) with VMware and Veeam, my hypervisor, and backup vendors, so for me, all the puzzle pieces simply fit and work smoothly."
"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."
"It has a nice, simple control panel. You can clearly see the state and health of storage along with the synchronization."
"The failover redundancy is why we bought this product and it has never let us down."
"In the three years that we have been using StarWind, the product has yet to cause us any problems."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"Simply being able to move objects and the duplication feature have been quite effective."
"With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me."
"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."
"Nimble DHCI is really user friendly and not complex"
"Nimble is easy to use, but hard to install. Once it's installed, it's user-friendly. Reporting is another advantage because we get a lot of statistical forecasting. It helps us see into the future with that."
"The technical support services are good."
"I love InfoSite. That gets you a lot of good detailed information."
"So far, the solution's performance is very good."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured .maintain and update and with little to no fuss, even the free version is incredibly capable whilst it brings a the cost of a Highly Available HCI solution down to a very cost effective point" Having used Starwind Virtual SAN for many years both for clients and for internal systems it has always done exactly what it set out to do, provide a cost effect way to run a HCI storage platform for almost any hypervisor, but it is most effective with Hyper-V, simple, easy to use, -.software monitoring should be web based to be reachable from any workstation in VLAN."
"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."
"vSAN's free version does not have a graphical user interface."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"The software monitoring should be web-based to be reachable from any VLAN workstation."
"I'd love to see native export of metrics (via Prometheus or something of that nature) to allow us to get more metrics available on our existing dashboard software."
"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"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."
"The product does not support file services."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's website does not open properly or work consistently."
"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."
"The product is expensive."
"The product's active controller feature needs improvement."
"This year 2022, we have the possibility to include new kinds of storage with a high disk availability, such as Alletra 6000 and Alletra 9000. Those are the new storage available. If we would like to improve the quality and the capability and the high availability of these products, we can choose between different costs. This is another benefit from this HPE Nimble Storage dHCI solution of hyper-converged."
"They should improve just the support."
"Software upgrade is still more complicated than the competitors, so that's an area of improvement."
