"Quick setup, great support, stability is great"
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"Virtual SAN runs on iSCSI, which is free and easy to configure. It's easy to manage from StarWind's GUI console, and it only required a few extra switch ports."
"The virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"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 solution is also quite flexible. As an example, other vSAN solutions that we looked at had more stringent requirements regarding mixed HDD/SSD storage which wouldn't have worked in our environment."
"The most useful aspect is the hyper-converged SD SAN and the ease to expand it by just adding cheap SSD or NVME disks."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"A valuable feature of the solution is that it allows everything to be integrated into a single model, comprised of hardware and software."
"This is a good solution if you want to deploy an ACI Environment but don't have all the necessary resources."
"What I like the most in terms of features is the fact that the VxRail update can be done in one week. It takes much less time to do a whole server upgrade and an infrastructure update as well."
"The ease of deployment and management of the solution are the most valuable aspects of the product."
"The support has been excellent, especially if you compare it to IBM."
"It helps our servers and it is very efficient."
"You don't need to think about compatibility of components."
"VxRail performs well in the VDI environment."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"I would definitely like to see quite a bit more on the monitoring side of things."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"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."

"I would prefer it if each cell had a tool geared toward billing clients."
"The scalability is limited to a single cluster with 64 nodes."
"The full solution is not completely included as a bundle, such as we see with SimpliVity."
"Sometimes during implementation, you can some scripting errors. And there are some issues when we update the version. There are some issues like the version will not get updated or stable at some time. Dell needs to resolve these problems, we don't waste time fixing them."
"The version upgrade process should be simplified."
"I would like to see more solutions for satellite capabilities where we can put it into smaller locations and still have the redundancy that we have with a larger cluster."
"A more containerized approach in regards to the interface would be better."
"VxRail could improve by having domain protection."
