Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."It has reduced the amount of switching, network connections, etc., because the converged StarWind Virtual SAN allows us to connect high-speed network interfaces between different boxes instead of having to connect SANs via the network, then connect those two clusters together."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"The ROI is great on this product."
"The access to our data is quicker and cheaper than it used to be in a traditional storage system."
"It provided the much-needed HA on an extremely low budget."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"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."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"Technical support is okay."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"The most valuable features are the RBAC, role-based access control, and the reporting. NCI also provides a single platform, a single pane with a dashboard, to manage the entire infrastructure. We have complete information about overall utilization, performance, and a forecast for our platform in that single pane."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"While it is possible to implement disk encryption in StarWind using Windows Bitlocker, such a solution can be a little tricky to manage."
"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."
"It took a bit of knowledge and support to put in place but once installed it works fine. Migration (HyperV) from one server to another sometimes takes longer than expected but there is no data loss even if the host crashes."
"For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings."
"Regular updates to the software are required, and subtle design changes would be welcome."
"Geolocation could be better, for example, for site mirroring for DR purposes."
"Though I have learned some of the nuances with the upgrading of firmware/windows/etc., it would be nice to have a more efficient method of doing so."
"The documentation can be better for the free tier."
"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."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
