Pros
"They offer top-tier support.""It eliminates the use of expensive physical shared storage.""PowerShell library is pretty good feature as I created with APC PowerChute a script to put volumes on maintenance mode then turning off the StarWind nodes together with the VM and Hosts when UPS reaches 15 percent, this way after a blackout or electrical problems when turning servers on again, there is no issues for syncing or data loss due to energy interrupts.""High Availability is the best feature of product.""StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements.""It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable.""It provided the much-needed HA on an extremely low budget.""It's very easy to resize disks and they show up in VMware almost instantly."

Cons
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation.""It would help us if the vendor continues to release software updates for earlier versions of the Windows operating systems.""It would be great to have more automated tooling around managing the iSCSI connections in Windows""One main thing this product needs to work on is reporting.""For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings.""While we had little to no issues in setting up StarWind and received excellent support from the StarWind technicians, we would have appreciated a clearer guideline for a setup with the free version of StarWind Management Console or, in other words - for the setup with the PowerShell.""StarWind Command Center's single-pane management solution only works with Hyper-V.""I am expecting to see it more user-friendly in the future."

More StarWind Virtual SAN Cons →

"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete.

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The setup cost is very low. The pricing is great."
  • "We are happy with the price."
  • "The license is reusable. We can always rebuild it and apply the license. Then, boom, we get new servers, apply the license, and we're back up and running."
  • "The pricing is fine for the work that it does."
  • "When we did all the analysis for StarWind, it was approximately 20 percent less than any of the other solutions that we looked at."
  • "The scalability limitation for us is its licensing. At some point in the fairly near future, we will probably have to upgrade our license so we can store eight terabytes instead of four. We are currently at four terabytes, but we're starting to knock on the door of that capacity."
  • "The pricing is excellent. It will run on anything. You don't have to buy a $100,000 server, with hardware you don't need. You just pay for the license and you're good to go."
  • "The licensing is a bit weird. If you license the standard version of StarWind, it allows you four terabytes. Then, they have a pro version, but with the pro version, the only difference is it doubles the terabytes to eight."

  • "The pricing is on the high side and the subscription is renewed every year."
  • "We pay monthly for the use of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. There are additional features that we use that have an extra fee."
