Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It also provides a seamless and efficient solution for personal storage requirements, showcasing the versatility and scalability of my Virtual SAN configuration."
"It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime."
"The performance of the solution is accurate and concise."
"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 install itself is easy as pie."
"We went from "no way DB applications would have good performance" to "Wow! We can now actually have a DB running and have some VMs running at the same time.""
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Cisco offers very good quality."
"Easy to spin up and operate virtual machines without the overhead of managing a storage network."
"Our customers have seen ROI in terms of the time they save troubleshooting."
"It is a solution that best suits thre needs of our organization."
"The implementation process is okay."
"The most valuable feature for our company is that it works internally. We have a lot of internal projects for optimization."
"It is scalable and easy to use."
"Has the ability to conduct and build any query without limitations."
"As a threat intelligence tool, it's very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Recorded Future is how it detects everything regarding our domain."
"The most valuable feature is Recorded Future's protection of exposed customer data on the hardware side."
"From the feedback I've received from my clients, the most valuable feature is the ability to personalize the solution. The ability to have a customized dashboard makes it easy for leadership and management to obtain details. Intelligence analysts or security engineers care about the actions and results, whereas the leadership care about graphs and reports. Recorded Future helps my clients create reports and also determine how the intelligence that is generated is consumed. They can easily show the benefits to the leadership without them having to invest 10 hours a week into transferring numbers into a graph or into creating reports."
"The intel that they were providing us over the emails was very good. If it found any hashtag in our organization's name on the dark web, a rogue IP, or a marketplace, it would send us an email and notify us that this is being mentioned, and if we want, they can take some action."
"The solution is diverse and provides me with a lot of different mechanisms for evaluation."
"The tool is helpful in vulnerability assessment of zero-day vulnerabilities and phishing domains. The solution provides information on any domains of the organization that has undergone phishing or any other cyberattacks."
"Management tools could be improved, sometimes the usage seems to be slowed down and confusing. A native web interface could also be an option. I love to see in the future port of the software on a general Linux distribution like RedHat or Ubuntu in order to avoid windows license costs. I would also like to see features like erasure coding implemented. On the VSAN software, I would like to see some improvements in the storage pools (eliminate the usage of the file as a data container and use the raw partition)."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"We ran into an issue with alerts."
"For someone entering the IT sector with little knowledge of storage, iSCSI, and virtual disks, they might not find the GUI immediately obvious."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."
"Performance when in storage-separate configuration needs to be improved."
"We are working with a lot of different technologies and trying to manage them with one tool. The API could be improved for better integration with other systems."
"Its price could be better."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier, as we still seem to struggle with it a little bit for a day or so to get it running."
"Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series could improve by having the documents be more readily available and the support could be more flexible."
"The initial setup of profiles and templates could be improved. Maybe some end profiles that you can use based on your type of deployment would be good."
"Does not support the stretch cluster, and the interface is not good."
"Their technical support is very bad. We had an issue where instead of an engineer we got a PDF "doctor" that didn't know anything about our problem which was very frustrating."
"I have been receiving a memory overflow message every day when I use the solution."
"At present, my clients need to be trained by me or another organization on how to use Recorded Future and how to get the best out of it as an analyst, engineer, and administrator. It would be better if clients could directly learn these things without having to go through me or other organizations."
"Recorded Future is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient visibility of malware and international APT attacks."
"When you add one website to Recorded Future, it should automatically call all other websites and social media platforms."
"The product gives many false positives. If someone talks about the brand or organization name in the public domain over chats or blocks, it gets highlighted. It may not necessarily be a threat but still gets highlighted which increases the false positive count."
"The solution would benefit from introducing automation."
"There is a semantic oncology dynamic relationship between how the MIGR Tech framework needs more data infusion enrichment capabilities."
"It sometimes detects false positives and reduces the overall accuracy of the system."
