Find out in this report how the two HCI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"StarWind saved us about 80% of our storage costs over our old solution."
"The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"High Availability is the best feature of product."
"It includes every feature that a traditional SAN offers and so much more."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."
"I love InfoSite. That gets you a lot of good detailed information."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"So far, the solution's performance is very good."
"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."
"We have this feature in Nimble dHCI, wherein we can upgrade individual components in the infrastructure."
"The solution is useful for taking storage snapshots, has high performance, and the CASL architecture is good for optimizing workloads."
"It is stable and scalable."
"I like that you can add other types of services."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"There is one issue as far as licensing goes and that is a lack of documentation online for users when transitioning from the free version to the paid version, or vice versa."
"The documentation could be better."
"Android app for monitoring and receiving push notifications as alarms or monitoring I/O from any mobile device could be a good feature and nice to have as we are not always on our desk."

"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."
"The only issue I'm really running into is we have a SQL server that we're having a lot of high IO latency on one of my drives and it's my data drive from my SQL server. It's not really giving me any good information as to where that latency is coming from, so that's what I'm trying to track down and troubleshoot."
"Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick."
"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."
"Nimble Storage's integration with the management software could be better."
"I'm not sure if there are features lacking."
"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."
