"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"The features that I found most valuable are ease of use of the software that StarWind offers - with the first setup being a bit painful."
"StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere is a software-defined storage solution that has reduced administration time for storage. It's pretty straightforward to install and setup it and so far it has been robust and worked as advertised from StarWind."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
"The nice thing about it is that it truly integrates with the cloud, so I can move my volumes bi-directionally in and out of the cloud."
"Very good in-line compression."
"I love InfoSite. That gets you a lot of good detailed information."
"HPE's InfoSight software, which does the comparative analysis and artificial intelligence built-in in the box, and with Nimble they do well against the competition. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."
"Nimble DHCI is really user friendly and not complex"
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"The console is something that I feel could be improved. There is nothing technically wrong with it, but it can be jazzed up and/or made to be a little more intuitive."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"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."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The main issue we ran into was the documentation. We attempted to set up the product in our test environment by ourselves and ran into several areas of the documentation that were unclear to us."
"This year 2022, we have the possibility to include new kinds of storage with a high disk availability, such as Alletra 6000 and Alletra 9000. Those are the new storage available. If we would like to improve the quality and the capability and the high availability of these products, we can choose between different costs. This is another benefit from this HPE Nimble Storage dHCI solution of hyper-converged."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI currently is promoting only VMware as a hypervisor, whereas if they can look into other OSs, such as KVM or Red Hat, it would be an improvement."
"Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick."
"Nimble Storage's integration with the management software could be better."
"Lacking integration to the cloud."
"The solution could improve by providing better file-level restoration and DVX system options."
"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."
"I'm not sure if there are features lacking."
"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."
