"The Windows-based StarWind GUI is easy to use and understand and integrates seamlessly with VMware's vSphere portal as well."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to leverage our server infrastructure more completely without the need to add more hardware."
"The license price is one of the cheapest in the market."
"Being hardware agnostic is a must and definitely scored points for us."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"Installation is straightforward because it's a vSAN. It only took one or two days."
"We find the setup quite straightforward and very easy."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series' deployment is easy. We are a tier-one platinum partner who is into multiple implementations."
"The VX machines are scalable."
"The logs can also become very noisy when there is an issue, which is very infrequent."
"Pricing is a bit high."
"The setup and documentation for the installation with the free version could definitely be improved."
"It is difficult to control all of the hardware components."
"The system performs as expected, but we're always looking for performance improvements regarding the best utilization of NVMe disks."
"I'd prefer it if a remote console was provided."
"I would definitely like to see quite a bit more on the monitoring side of things."
"The software monitoring should be web-based to be reachable from any VLAN workstation."
"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."
"With the VX machines, the clients often confuse the hardware itself with the services and resources. VMs are configured according to resources - memory, hard disk capacity, and network. These resources, including memory and processor, are actually shared on the VX Series. So, if the server's processor is underpowered or unreliable for the VMs, many of the VMs will encounter issues. Ideally, the physical server configuration should align more closely with the needs of the virtual servers."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series needs to improve its stability. Its resolution should be faster."
"Support could be better."
"The user management could be a bit better. It's something they could improve upon in future releases."
