Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS).
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"High Availability is the best feature of product."
"For those basic uses, it's simple to set up and manage, and it seems to do a fine job."
"The backup is readily available for use, and the restoration process is easy."
"The control panel is nice. It gives you a lot of good feedback as to the status and health of the VSAN."
"The vSAN provides full redundancy for storage while reclaiming some rack space."
"The ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"The single-pane-of-glass VMware interface makes configuration and management easy so you do not need IT specialists."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"The most valuable aspect of Nutanix is the performance of the storage, which is excellent. And controlling compute, storage, the network, and security all together in one box is very efficient for us. It gives us a single platform to manage our all infrastructure."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is its low cost, guaranteed to failover and failback with only a few clicks."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"Management tools could be improved, sometimes the usage seems to be slowed down and confusing. A native web interface could also be an option. I love to see in the future port of the software on a general Linux distribution like RedHat or Ubuntu in order to avoid windows license costs. I would also like to see features like erasure coding implemented. On the VSAN software, I would like to see some improvements in the storage pools (eliminate the usage of the file as a data container and use the raw partition)."
"I am expecting to see it more user-friendly in the future."
"StarWind doesn't really have any performance reporting, especially compared with other vSAN products we've used."
"I wish the sync after a failure, such as hardware failure or power-related issues, for example, was faster."
"We don't really have any issues with this product."
"StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured .maintain and update and with little to no fuss, even the free version is incredibly capable whilst it brings a the cost of a Highly Available HCI solution down to a very cost effective point" Having used Starwind Virtual SAN for many years both for clients and for internal systems it has always done exactly what it set out to do, provide a cost effect way to run a HCI storage platform for almost any hypervisor, but it is most effective with Hyper-V, simple, easy to use, -.software monitoring should be web based to be reachable from any workstation in VLAN."
"There is a general lack of documentation, especially up-to-date documentation to get started."
"It is not very clear within the StarWind Management Console or the StarWind support documentation how to perform maintenance on a single node in a two-node HA cluster."
"A new company took over the product and now the support for Maxta has gone way downhill."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
