"The easy way everything can be configured and ready to run in less than a day is great."
"Live migration between nodes was quick and simple."
"The high-quality hardware options, directly affecting performance, have significantly improved the user experience and are well worth the cost."
"NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something."
"I'd like a better UI and some limitations on "breaking it.""
"Shipping options should be explained in detail and offer more white glove delivery options even if it comes at an additional cost for some SMBs without docks."
"Maybe they could have a support portal that you can have direct access to a current support representative."
"It would be nice if it were possible to do the ISCSI setup that you do on Windows directly in the management GUI of StarWind."
"The only area that surprised me had to do with the fact that each host runs a StarWind virtual machine used to maintain the health of the vSAN, which individually uses 24GB of memory per host. You should keep this in mind when determining the resources you will need when selecting hardware and components for your specific setup. If I knew that, I would have chosen to add more memory per host to make up for the use."
"The only thing that can use improvement is the StarWind Management Console and Command Center."
"The only issue we have seen is with the StarWind Server Manager. We have had to continually reboot the server in order to use it."
