Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."We are able to execute maintenance on one server while the other is still running."
"Integration with Microsoft clustering has been perfect, allowing us to leverage our investment in MS server licensing to the fullest."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"StarWind vSAN was very easy to integrate into our system and ran flawlessly during our entire use time."
"They offer top-tier support."
"Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"The iSCSI protocol is quite simple to configure."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"It is easy to use. One of the things they have as a design goal is to reduce complexity and simplify things."
"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 scalability is great."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"Some configuration options still demand service restarting."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."
"New versions of this solution should be tested more thoroughly before the release as we had a few problems with one version due to a bug."
"While we had no problems setting the system up, and service technicians from StarWind could assist us very well, they could provide some form of in-depth documentation."
"It is difficult to control all of the hardware components."
"I'd love to see native export of metrics (via Prometheus or something of that nature) to allow us to get more metrics available on our existing dashboard software."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
