Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The instant failover, with vSAN copying data to the second node, allowed for the continuous availability of our applications."
"Quick setup, great support, stability is great"
"It eliminates the use of expensive physical shared storage."
"It has improved our organization in terms of its uptime as our main cluster has never been offline due to a SAN failure."
"Being hardware agnostic is a must and definitely scored points for us."
"The solution offers easy one-click PowerShell scripts that are ready to run."
"StarWind has provided us with a top-notch, well-supported, robust vSAN offering when other vendors have moved to hyper-converged solutions that are outside of our average clients' reach from a financial and resource perspective."
"It also provides a seamless and efficient solution for personal storage requirements, showcasing the versatility and scalability of my Virtual SAN configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"Ease of deployment"
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"The documentation could be a little more concise, but, for the most part, it just works."
"Having more support plan options would be nice."
"We would like to see the documentation more fully developed."
"There should be publicly available tutorials on YouTube or other platforms that help the users to integrate this solution with other platforms, for example."
"Management tools could be improved, sometimes the usage seems to be slowed down and confusing. A native web interface could also be an option. I love to see in the future port of the software on a general Linux distribution like RedHat or Ubuntu in order to avoid windows license costs. I would also like to see features like erasure coding implemented. On the VSAN software, I would like to see some improvements in the storage pools (eliminate the usage of the file as a data container and use the raw partition)."
"vSAN's free version does not have a graphical user interface."
"I'd love to see more clarification for us folks who are smart enough to do some damage yet not smart enough to use CLI."
"New versions of this solution should be tested more thoroughly before the release as we had a few problems with one version due to a bug."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"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."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"In the next release, I would like better and more competitive pricing."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface that can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I can create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
