"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"While we had little to no issues in setting up StarWind and received excellent support from the StarWind technicians, we would have appreciated a clearer guideline for a setup with the free version of StarWind Management Console or, in other words - for the setup with the PowerShell."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."

"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."

"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 HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
