I would say data protection and easy management are the most valuable features of the product...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Another good feature is that you can pause the appliance if you want to move it from one location to another and then once it's moved you can resume it, this way you can physically move the whole cluster or storage without any downtime. Its really easy to use, if you have a good foundation in storage and clustering then you will need less then one hour to figure out how to operate it.

They call us when monitoring shows a possible issue and are very flexible in working with our schedule to troubleshoot when it is convenient for us.

Its user-friendly interface makes it an attractive option, especially for customers who may not be highly tech-savvy.

With StarWind Storage Appliance, it would be better to have an overall easier setup with a little bit of configuration changes since, currently, even a small mistake may cause the setup process to go wrong.

StarWind should improve the synchronization time of its product. There should be a standard operating procedure (SOP) for synchronization to reduce the time it takes.

It needs more integration with backup vendors so there is native integration with it that will allow storage level backup/snapshots. I would love to see integration with Veeam and Commvault so it can be recognized by them directly and added as network storage.

They offered onsite installation, but we chose to do it ourselves. That took longer and was more work for us but saved us a ton of money in the end.

Other solutions, such as StorMagic, offer more flexibility in terms of handling caching and moving data between additional nodes.

An improvement would be if they reached out to education customers with other available products.
