Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"The solution is very stable."
"A company can scale it easily."
"I like that you have a small dedicated file system that is fast and resilient for containerized workloads."
"A custom IBM script is designed to tackle the storage management challenges within containerized environments, providing crucial data services and features required for enterprise applications."
"Portworx is a simple solution. It's similar to Pure Storage products. They're all easy to use and install. You need to have a little expertise with containers to use Portworx, but it will be no problem for you if you understand containers."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The best thing about Portworx is the Stork, they have called the VPS (Volume Replacement Strategy) and they also have topology awareness, and these are the three features I like."
"Portworx virtualizes the aspects of the underlying block storage. That is good because they can also use block storage for their future deployment instead of just NFS."
"In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"User interface could be improved."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"It is a costly solution."
"I would like to see a more native mapping to mainframe-type systems."
"The documentation could be better."
"I think the vendor could provide more training for new users who may not be familiar with containers."
"The integration has room for improvement."
"They have not integrated Portworx with Ondat since they are too focused now on Pure Storage APIs and not on users like us."
"It would be highly advantageous to include an integrated backup solution within the same license, rather than purchasing backup separately."
