Find out in this report how the two HCI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They offer top-tier support."
"In the three years that we have been using StarWind, the product has yet to cause us any problems."
"High Availability is the best feature of product."
"The support has been amazing and quick to reply."
"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"The vSAN provides full redundancy for storage while reclaiming some rack space."
"The product only requires two VMWare ESXi host servers versus three host servers for VMware's comparable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."
"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable feature is the flexibility to move the VMs easily, keeping everything together."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure has a simple, user-friendly GUI, and I also like the remote recovery capabilities. It provides a single platform for managing databases."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"Nutanix has the best virtual desktop infrastructure."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"When StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere nodes go offline unexpectedly, the nodes have to re-sync disks fully which takes a long time. We had a power failure and when both nodes came online, VMware vSphere didn't see StarWind disks before I manually re-scanned them form ESXi administration console even though it should happen automatically"
"Pricing is a bit high."
"StarWind currently has a Windows native application that it uses for management. There is not a web-based GUI at this time."
"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"We don't really have any issues with this product."
"Perhaps more reporting features on the utilization, usage, and performance of the configured high-availability images and underlying physical disks would be helpful."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
"There is a delay in the availability of similar versions of firmware from both the products, which are VMware and Nutanix for Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series, due to the delayed releases from both products, maybe by a quarter or so."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
"I believe that improvements could be made in regards to the DR in addition to deduplication and integration with others platforms. They also do not offer opportunities for network virtualization so it would be nice to see that in the future."
"I'd like it to be more API-based."
