Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."In addition to the main functions of the software, I want to note the excellent work of technical support."
"It includes every feature that a traditional SAN offers and so much more."
"The management interface on the software is very simple. It is insanely simple compared to most SANs. The interface is also powerful when used to complete tasks that an IT administrator needs to complete."
"It allows you to use ANY consumer or enterprise HDDs and SSDs, and that's a really great thing!"
"The ability to choose our own hardware and our own vendors for this was hugely beneficial, as we had pre-existing relationships with vendors we wanted to maintain."
"StarWind support has been great in helping resolve other issues not caused by their software."
"The main benefit is that StarWind is almost maintenance-free."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, integrates with other hardware configurations, and is simple to manage."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"Flexibility. We're able to mix performance nodes with storage nodes easily. Unlike other vendors where, if we start a hyperconverged solution with them, we have to stick to a specific model, to a specific series with specific capabilities, with Nutanix it's very easy to mix and match the best solution, especially for a dynamic infrastructure like ours."
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The product is easy to manage."
"Management is simple"
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"The Command Center, a free guest VM for management and monitoring, leaves something to be desired. It could have more accurate real-time information and better reporting visuals, which seem to be an afterthought."
"New versions of this solution should be tested more thoroughly before the release as we had a few problems with one version due to a bug."
"For someone entering the IT sector with little knowledge of storage, iSCSI, and virtual disks, they might not find the GUI immediately obvious."
"When you will cease your contract with StarWind (for support) your product won't be updated and that is a big selling point, especially for us, as we have loads of products from StarWind."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"We would like the documentation to be more complete. Most items are covered, but if you don't know something, you may need to contact their support."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"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."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"I would like to see them utilize the spare storage that they use as a redundant space. I feel that now a lot of resources are wasted just for standby purposes because we are using data protection. Instead of utilizing those resources only when something happens, they can have an alternative so that we can utilize these resources all the time."
