Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that the nodes are Active/Active, and allow us to do upgrades on any node without any downtime."
"It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"The product only requires two VMWare ESXi host servers versus three host servers for VMware's comparable solution."
"Quick setup, great support, stability is great"
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"The fact that the solution is vendor-agnostic allows it to be used with any virtualization vendor while remaining a powerful abstraction over storage."
"The ability to run a two-node cluster without a dedicated witness has made this an excellent product for small deployments, which is right on target for our needs in regional offices."
"One feature we found useful was the product's complete ability to integrate with vCenter."
"The most valuable feature is the visual encoding."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."
"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."
"A great feature would be a wizard and to include a new disk in the SAN. At the moment, including a new disk requires several steps - some that must be done at the OS level and others in each node."
"Besides not being able to use any filesystem, I do not have any additional cons."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."
"Snapshot notification would be a good addition."
"One of the biggest problems with HCI vendors was the lack of flexibility for adding resources"
"In the next release, I would like to see compatibility and support for critical applications, like SAP."
"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."
