Find out in this report how the two HCI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have been able to use more on-prem hardware to reduce cost and also use old disks that we do not trust enough for ordinary RAID or usage."
"The failover redundancy is why we bought this product and it has never let us down."
"One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"The ROI is great on this product."
"StarWind vSAN was very easy to integrate into our system and ran flawlessly during our entire use time."
"Starwind support is excellent. They are very fast and have very good knowledge of Starwind and Hyper-V Cluster software."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"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."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"There are a lot of things I really like. Perhaps the best part is taking a snapshot of a virtual machine. It's very quick. Another useful part is replication and creating a protection domain: using the protection feature to replicate a machine to a remote site for DR purposes."
"A mobile app to sync up for overview and status would really be helpful."
"StarWind Virtual SAN architecture is slightly complex and requires the team to carefully identify and study how the solution integrates with VMware vSphere."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"Having more support plan options would be nice."
"Server-side snapshots are one thing the Linux appliance can't do yet."
"We would like to see the documentation more fully developed."
"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."
"Some configuration options still demand service restarting."
"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."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"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."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
