Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS).
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"The network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second."
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"A very flexible solution."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"It is a costly solution."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
