"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of its scalability: being able to grow it without having to make sure you get the right disks and the right nodes. The solution is also easy to manage. It's all right there in the vSphere Client. You're not going through multiple things. You don't have to know, once you've created the vSAN node. You add storage, it sees it, and you create your data storage from there. Everything is right there for you."
"The ease of use is great."
"The implementation is simple, it was very straightforward. It took us approximately three weeks because it was installed in four locations."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it is easy to deploy. It is easy to create and delete virtual servers. It is easy to create the load balancing and the clustering."
"We can scale it very easily for a test environment. We were able to segment our DMZ so it wasn't connected to anything, which we really liked."
"I have used VMware for 15 years and I never had any problems with stability."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very straightforward."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"If we have some complicated issues, you have to use the command lines interface. Not everything is possible to be fixed in the GUI. This is a drawback, that some things have to be fixed via command-line interface and should be able to be done in the GUI."
"I would like to see some of the more traditional SAN functions that are out the now. I can list them: being able to Snapshot on the back-end, better de-dupe, and better compression. Those are the major ones."
"The architecture of vSAN is not good. vSAN works with objects, such as disks, and it causes problems with availability."
"There's a lot that can be done to segregate. That may be available now in vSAN 7, I suppose, however, the deduplication and compression can be segregated."
"Its installation should be easier, and its price should be cheaper. It would be good for the product if they can include the data locality feature."
"More focus has to be put on deduplication and compression with a hybrid architecture."
"The upgrading process could be simplified."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
