Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."I like the asynchronous replication and failover features. They are what I'm primarily using it for. The asynchronous replication is helpful because our servers are backed up continuously throughout the day. If anything goes wrong we just fail over immediately. That is a very nice feature to have."
"It's very easy to resize disks and they show up in VMware almost instantly."
"Given the high availability of the server cluster, we were able to reduce separate physical servers onto one hyper-converged cluster - this saved in OPEX and CAPEX costs immediately, along with licensing costs of the Windows Server licenses."
"It allows you to use ANY consumer or enterprise HDDs and SSDs, and that's a really great thing!"
"StarWind Virtual SAN offers high availability and data resilience features to prevent data loss if hardware fails."
"The StarWind tech support is extremely helpful, especially during the initial setup."
"It allows me to configure High Availability and failover clustering with some fault tolerance, at a cost point that doesn’t break the bank for a small business budget."
"The solution offers easy one-click PowerShell scripts that are ready to run."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."
"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"When you will cease your contract with StarWind (for support) your product won't be updated and that is a big selling point, especially for us, as we have loads of products from StarWind."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"They recommend RAID10 for HDD, which reduces the usable storage capacity."
"The Command Center, a free guest VM for management and monitoring, leaves something to be desired. It could have more accurate real-time information and better reporting visuals, which seem to be an afterthought."
"The reconnection of the attached drives upon a reboot could be improved."
"There is a delay in the availability of similar versions of firmware from both the products, which are VMware and Nutanix for Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series, due to the delayed releases from both products, maybe by a quarter or so."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
