Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."StarWind allowed us to deploy highly available shared storage within our budget."
"I save both physical and virtual space."
"The backup is readily available for use, and the restoration process is easy."
"Without the need for any downtime, enterprises can simply grow their storage infrastructure using StarWind Virtual SAN by adding new servers or disks to the current infrastructure."
"StarWind is very easy to use, even if you have had no experience using a SAN before."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"The virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."
"I wish there was online support because email return takes a long time and a faster solution should be found."
"This product would benefit from having automated alerting functionality."
"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."
"The product can include a more simple way of synchronization after a forced shutdown as the current process has a few more steps to check that hosts have synchronized and this can be automated."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"Ability to to test the virtual storage are network area and storage speed from StarWind Management Console."
"For someone entering the IT sector with little knowledge of storage, iSCSI, and virtual disks, they might not find the GUI immediately obvious."
"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
