Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."The solution provides great performance for the price it is listed with."
"The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"The most valuable feature is the managed service, which has been an important part of monitoring our critical infrastructure."
"The product's core feature of virtualizing our storage is by far the most valuable."
"StarWind is very easy to use, even if you have had no experience using a SAN before."
"VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"The price of the solution is good, especially when it comes to complex network solutions, such as UCS and Connect."
"It's easy to get the tool started."
"The UCS, which is by far the best management tool there is on the market, regardless of vendor. It's the only tool I see that gives you the opportunity to size and scale all the assets and capacity you have in your data center, from a unified view."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It saves space for data centers, which is good."
"Cisco provides the ability to configure BIOS, something that no one else can do, on a remote basis. That's really helpful sometimes. The bus-snooping alteration tool for BIOS is fantastic. That's one of the game-changing features that Cisco alone has at this point."
"It's very easy to use and quite a mature product."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is the integration with everything in a much smoother, such as in physical and virtual environments. VMware NSX is a simpler solution but, Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is more robust compared to VMware NSX."
"Most of the features are similar to what other tools have, but the UIs are quite user friendly. A beginner could use it."
"The setup and documentation for the installation with the free version could definitely be improved."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."
"Besides not being able to use any filesystem, I do not have any additional cons."
"While we had no problems setting the system up, and service technicians from StarWind could assist us very well, they could provide some form of in-depth documentation."
"For improvement, I would like to see how the software determines which networks to use for which purpose. It seems like the naming terminology changes a bit from here to there."
"The initial setup could be faster, due to the prerequisites."
"The primary improvements should be made in the cluster storage controller VMs so that they don't break the upgrade process."
"Cisco is quite expensive but not in the initial first buy."
"They can't get a POC to work because there are big latencies between the two sites we have. Even though we have a private fiber connection and everything else works well, they can't get the two products to talk to each other. They are not able to build it up. It looks like it's a firmware issue. They said it isn't but now it's looking like it is. I hope we can sort it out."
"We are moving further out with more cloud solutions, so we need HyperFlex to be more cloud-connected. They should develop more connection to Amazon Web Services and Google cloud because our customers use their services and are moving in that direction."
"One of the biggest problems with HyperFlex HX is that if you want to adjust your solution in terms of processing power, memory, or disk capacity, you have to buy completely new hosts. From a financial perspective, it can be very expensive to do so, and from a legal perspective, there are all kinds of compliance issues we would have to sort out before buying any new solution or application."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"The initial setup is very complex because there were some issues. It is not clear to how set up this solution."
"I would also like to see more integrations, plugins, and user-friendly automation, similar to the multiple integration scripts that Rapid7 has."
