"Recovery and maintenance are now less stressful and most importantly, it allows our users to keep working."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"StarWind vSAN is a great solution to create a redundant two-node-only Hyper-V cluster, both for domain or workgroup scenarios."
"It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime."
"This solution made it possible to deploy a new infrastructure in the shortest amount of time, at a low cost without purchasing expensive hardware storage, and use unused servers."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"The iSCSI protocol is quite simple to configure."
"The most valuable features are the appliance-type feel and that you don't need additional licenses as everything is built-in."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"This synchronization is easy with StorMagic, and we can establish availability between servers."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"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."
"A mobile app to sync up for overview and status would really be helpful."
"It would be nice to add the ability to use raw partitions instead of file containers."
"Having more support plan options would be nice."
"We would like the documentation to be more complete. Most items are covered, but if you don't know something, you may need to contact their support."
"I found that certain browsers are not fully compatible with the administration web access portal."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"I've had so many issues with the sales team when I was looking to make some improvements, and improve the performance. They would create so many excuses to force me to buy new nodes all the time and not let me add more memory to each node."
"Scale HC3 improvements would involve literally fixing up the replication."
"The product struggles to cope with bigger workloads. In the next release, I'd like some backup solutions to be added."
"The only improvement area I can see is their licensing. For example, the memory caching feature is only available in an advanced license. Normally, it's in a standard license. It would be better if they had memory caching features in the product. Some backup features should also be in the product"
