VMware vSAN Reviews

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our customers. Our clients are in different industries, including banking and finance, and utilities such as oil and gas.

I do not use this product personally. Rather, I sell it and my clients use it.

I generally sell vSAN on VxRail version 7.

The integration with other VMware products is good.

Improvements can be made with respect to scalability.

I have been working with VMware vSAN for five years.

This is a stable product.

The scalability of this solution can be improved a little bit.

The technical support is good. I would rate them a nine out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward. People with existing knowledge in VMware technology will find it easy to set up because it's not a different platform than what they are used to.

My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing vSAN is that it's a good platform if you're working with VMware. My customers generally do not complain about vSAN. However, if they are interested in a Hyper-V or Nutanix environment then this is not a good solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I have found that the multi-homing feature is very valuable in VMware vSAN. It is an easy-to-use solution.

I have used the VMware Replication but I can't get it to work properly. The process should be simplified.

I have been using VMware vSAN for a couple of years.

VMware vSAN is stable. 

I have not contacted support.

The Initially setup is easy. We have only three or four hosts. However, I might need to use some more services. A larger environment requires more hosts.

I have been told that if I used VxRail it would be cheaper than the system we are using now with buying the products separately. The solution is expensive overall.

In my company have some new consultant technicians who have more experience in the bigger setups. They suggest that I look at the VxRail solution.

We have been evaluating VMware Horizon and we are thinking about using it.

I rate VMware vSAN an eight out of ten.

My primary use case of this solution is to combine old storage into logical volumes. You can create a VMS partition and deploy it among the host, which provides the best performance.

I've been using vSAN for almost three years.

The scalability is good - storage is expandable with no extra cost.

Setup is simple because the product is automatically installed once the license is activated.

The pricing is something of a concern.

I would say that if you need more storage-level performance, scalability, or security, you can definitely consider using this solution. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

I provide a workshop for VMware vSAN to the final customers. For example, in Chile, I installed the solution for a company called NG. I have customers in Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina. VMware vSAN is used as a storage solution.

Overall the solution is very good.

VMware vSAN could improve by having better integration with other vendors and the storage is limited, I prefer it to the traditional storage.

I have been using VMware vSAN for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

VMware vSAN is scalable.

The installation is straightforward. I have developed an automatic script that can install the solution which has been very good for customers.

I do the implementation and maintenance of the solution. Additionally, I support those who are wanting to do the implementation.

This is a good solution.

I rate VMware vSAN a ten out of ten.

VMware vSAN is software-defined storage. I think that says it all. You don't have to buy additional external storage, and you can manage all the storage entities from the console. That's very important to our customers.

vSAN is very integrated.

Ease of administration is one area where vSAN could be improved. 

We've been using vSAN for probably four to five years.

For our purposes, vSAN's stability is okay.

vSAN is scalable.

As far as I know, any VMware tickets that we've escalated have been handled professionally. and their support team is very skilled.

It's straightforward. Because we are deploying it from the VxRail global setup, there is no dedicated vSAN setup that we are providing. It's all integrated into the VxRail setup. However, installing vSAN itself can be quite complex if you're doing it from scratch.

I rate vSAN eight out of 10. I would recommend it to others. 

The user-friendliness could be better. 

The solution is quite pricey in comparison with other products, such as HP or Cisco. 

While I like the replication and compression features, there is a problem with them running too slowly. This is not of benefit to the customers, but it is important when it comes to migrating. 

I've been using VMware vSAN for around two years.

The solution is stable. 

It is difficult for me to comment on the technical support, as we are not the customer or user. 

The complexity of the initial setup varies with the customer. 

In comparison with other solutions, such as HP or Cisco, I find the solution to be quite pricey.

HP and Cisco have lower priced solutions than VMware vSAN, which I find to be quite pricey. 

I think I am satisfied with the product. I would say it is so so. 

I rate VMware vSAN as a seven out of ten. 

We use this solution for our entire architecture. They have removed the storage part. We used to use IBM and NetApp for storage solutions.

Data management and recovery processes are the most valuable features.

Unless there is some network issue, everything is fine. 

Improvements are also needed as per the customer's requirements.

I have been using VMware vSAN for six years. 

The initial setup is easy. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
