Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."StarWind Virtual SAN is a very easy-to-use solution that can be quickly and easily deployed and configured without intimate and specific knowledge in the virtualization sphere."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"When using new (warranty) servers, you can forget about the storage service for several years. The users will not even notice the failure of two servers out of three."
"It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime."
"The ability to run a two-node cluster without a dedicated witness has made this an excellent product for small deployments, which is right on target for our needs in regional offices."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"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."
"With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me."
"Artificial intelligence is built into the product. If there's a failure, HP support will proactively call the client about the issue."
"So far, the solution's performance is very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is stable."
"The latency is very low."
"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."
"The technical support services are good."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"We would like to see the documentation more fully developed."
"It would help if the manufacturer provided clearer and more detailed documentation, with explanations of how the application can be installed in various HA configurations."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."
"Having more support plan options would be nice."
"I would like to see some additional, and possibly clearer, implementation videos with some slower and possibly more detailed descriptions of what the various steps of implementation are for someone who is unfamiliar with high availability and failover clustering in Windows."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"StarWind relies on the underlying OS to manage the "SAN files" whether that would be a RAID volume, software RAID (such as LVM), etc. It would be useful if StarWind could incorporate the actual physical drive management inside of the solution, similar to Storage Spaces Direct."
"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."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"It can be made cheaper."
"Sometimes the technical support would get back to us in two hours, but other times it would take them two or even three days to respond."
"Software upgrade is still more complicated than the competitors, so that's an area of improvement."
"I rate Nimble one out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up Nimble Storage was a nightmare. It took us three months to deal with all the kinks and bugs. We had two people from HPE assisting us and two from our team."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's website does not open properly or work consistently."
"Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick."
"The solution could improve by providing better file-level restoration and DVX system options."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
