"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to leverage our server infrastructure more completely without the need to add more hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"The most useful aspect is the hyper-converged SD SAN and the ease to expand it by just adding cheap SSD or NVME disks."
"Recovery and maintenance are now less stressful and most importantly, it allows our users to keep working."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"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."
"Highly available storage is the most valuable feature. The entire rollout is hyper-converged and requires no extra storage further than the hosts in which Hyper-V is running. Another feature that has been great is the support from StarWind in general. We have their proactive support package on the main cluster that employs Starwind Virtual SAN."
"The price of the solution is good, especially when it comes to complex network solutions, such as UCS and Connect."
"The scalability of the product is quite good overall - as long as you plan correctly from the outset."
"The most valuable feature is full integration with Cisco API and UCS, which means you can have complete networking and storage from Cisco."
"The management feature is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is its performance."
"Performance-wise, everything is good. So far, we haven't had any issues. There has been no downtime at all."
"The solution is easy to use and to learn. It is well integrated with VMware."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"A mobile app to sync up for overview and status would really be helpful."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"StarWind Virtual SAN architecture is slightly complex and requires the team to carefully identify and study how the solution integrates with VMware vSphere."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"If it's possible to make a driver/solution that does not make use of the iSCSI targets of Windows, that would be great. I don't know if that's possible, however, it could make the configuration a little easier."
"There should be the opportunity to create more than one div group"
"We need to be able to scale out and not just up. When you want to scale up or scale out, you are quite limited."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The initial setup can be a bit complex."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"Its price could be better."
"The pricing is pretty expensive."
"Cisco HyperFlex should decrease the amount of memory needed from the Controller VM that controls the physical discs. They control the discs by using the virtual VM over every ESXi host and the VM consumes memory and consumes more hardware resources. They have to improve that by decreasing the amount of required memory and CPUs to control this disc on the server."
"Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure could improve the security of the solution. However, we are comfortable using it. Additionally, there could be more information provided for the solution and the interface could be more user-friendly."
