Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"We have experienced multiple hardware failures at one site and the fault-tolerant volume worked exactly as expected with zero downtime."
"The management and monitoring have been very easy since the solution's dashboard is very simple and user-friendly."
"With an uptime of 384 days, StarWind has improved overall server reliability."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"StarWind is very easy to use, even if you have had no experience using a SAN before."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is a very mature software that supersedes its capabilities with my use cases."
"We are running Hyper-V on twin servers in failover, and being able to manage servers from anywhere I need to, virtually, has been a game changer."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"The scalability is great."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"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."
"It took a bit of knowledge and support to put in place but once installed it works fine. Migration (HyperV) from one server to another sometimes takes longer than expected but there is no data loss even if the host crashes."
"They require more media visibility."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"I would like to see some additional, and possibly clearer, implementation videos with some slower and possibly more detailed descriptions of what the various steps of implementation are for someone who is unfamiliar with high availability and failover clustering in Windows."
"Improvements in documentation and support resources could enhance the user experience."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"The GUI for this solution needs improvement."
