Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The price was right."
"The support team is available to solve any problem efficiently."
"The ability to keep data accessible even in the event of hardware failures is highly valued, as it ensures business continuity."
"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."
"We like their high availability. It reduces the downtime for our entire organization's environment."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"The access to our data is quicker and cheaper than it used to be in a traditional storage system."
"The control panel is nice. It gives you a lot of good feedback as to the status and health of the VSAN."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"Technical support is okay."
"It's much easier and faster even when you want to create a server from a template or clone."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It's quite stable."
"The network capabilities are good."
"The solution is easy to use. You can spin one up when you need to and then shut it down."
"I rate Oracle VM's scalability a ten out of ten."
"It's not a very expensive product."
"It is a stable product."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"It is hard to find adequate technical documentation on their support website."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"The only thing that I have any difficulty with is that in order to perform upgrades, it is required that the SANs be detached from the Hosts before that can happen."
"StarWind Virtual SAN could benefit from better integration with other tools and technologies, such as backup and disaster recovery solutions."
"In all areas the product could be made faster."
"I'd prefer it if a remote console was provided."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"In terms of what I would like to see improved, I would say the life cycle management. I don't know if it is because they changed to an LCM from the previous way of upgrading the hardware or software but sometimes it feels that it needs a wizard that says, "Check this, check this," telling you your options. The only thing that's a bit frustrating for me is the life cycle management interface. That's the only thing on the entire system that frustrates me."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"One of the improvements I would like to have is related to naming. It is getting confusing because they are using three-letter acronyms, which are more or less misleading. What I do not like is that they changed names and reused names. They had a meaning in the past and they are still using the names for something similar."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"I would like to be able to ship all of our logs. This feature could exist and I am just not aware of it."
"I've found that using Oracle VM is like stepping back in time. It's not kept up with technology. The only reason anyone uses it is that they're afraid of Oracle's licensing. Oracle has a tremendously bad licensing approach."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Productivity in Oracle VM could still be improved, and an additional feature to make the product better is compatibility with Kubernetes and other modern technologies."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
"Integration with cloud products would be beneficial."
