StarWind Virtual SAN Reviews

We use StarWind vSAN software storage solutions to run two hypervisors in an HA clustered environment. 

This is a cost effective solution that allows us to have an HA clustered environment with redundancy and scalability. Storage has been very stable, and without issues, failures, or  bugs.

Ten gigabit Ethernet compatibility, support, ease of use, and management. This solution can be used with hardware RAID. Additionally, there are many white papers and informational studies about how to utilize the software.

Updates seem to be non-existent. The software is stable, but I do not get any updates or emails about new releases.

I use StarWind Virtual SAN software to change our old HPE Fibre Channel storage into an iSCSI solution for our development environment.

We have an old HPE Fibre Channel SAN that we wanted to reutilize for a development environment. However, we didn't want to spend too much on fiber infrastructure or replace the controller with iSCSI, since this would cost thousands of dollars. 

StarWind Virtual SAN software solves our problems. The software is easy to setup and manage, and the support is excellent.

I like the simple management interface:

• It is easy to setup.
• It has good support feature.                                                   

• It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks.
• It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted.

I have not faced any issues with stability.

Not applicable.

We are happy with the price. 

Our primary use case is to create vSAN for a small business environment and to manage it without using a physical SAN.

The managed service helps us to monitor our critical infrastructure.

The most valuable feature is the managed service, which has been an important part of monitoring our critical infrastructure.

I'd like for it to be more user-friendly in the future.

I have never felt that StarWind underperformed or was difficult to manage. The core technology just works. I am very happy that I am part of StarWind.

The team at StarWind are professional and very skilled in a variety of disciplines. The most impressive factor of the StarWind team is its quick response. They are very cooperative.

The setup and configuration for this solution is very easy and user-friendly.

Training provided by them was up to the mark. The documentation provided by them helps us to understand the functioning of the product more precisely.

I have been very impressed with the StarWind application, referring to every parameter. Reliability, cost, and support.

We have a fault-tolerant infrastructure, consisting of two storage nodes hosting the VM's storage and two Hyper-V nodes.

It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime.

The most valuable features are:

1. Easy implementation
   
2. Great Support
3. It doesn’t break the bank

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.

I have been using StarWind Virtual SAN for four years.

In our organization, we use this software for the first year. It is used to work with backup data storage. Still, it never lets us down, and we never lost our data.

StarWind made it quite easy to get started. The reliability of storing backup data and their processing speed has increased.

• Excellent performance
• High compatibility with software and hardware
• Fault tolerance
• It works well with Microsoft servers and Hyper-V.

The price is a bit more expensive than analogs.

We have two StarWind VSAN nodes installed in a small company. We're mirroring these nodes where all services are installed.

StarWind Virtual SAN has made it easy to work with backups and save server data by mirroring two servers.

We found the most valuable features to be: 

• Easy installation,
• Easy to work with,
• Very good support.

• We would like the price to be lower. 
• In the next releases, we would like a new improved interface.
