Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"The ability to keep data accessible even in the event of hardware failures is highly valued, as it ensures business continuity."
"Active-active HA provides top performance and redundancy."
"The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"I like StarWind's high availability. The failover is almost immediate, so the end users have no idea the guest VM moved at all. We can failover all guest VMs onto a single hypervisor, place it into maintenance mode, install updates, and reboot a hypervisor all during the daytime and remotely, with confidence the process will be successful."
"Highly available storage is the most valuable feature. The entire rollout is hyper-converged and requires no extra storage further than the hosts in which Hyper-V is running. Another feature that has been great is the support from StarWind in general. We have their proactive support package on the main cluster that employs Starwind Virtual SAN."
"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 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."
"It is a smart solution for virtualization"
"Sangfor HCI is a one-stop solution that enables you to store and centrally manage your VMs."
"Very user-friendly and simple."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"You can get almost all the features of the tool at a low cost. The tool also has built-in backup mechanisms. It also has a physical firewall for internet management which other competitors lack."
"The solution provides a single management console."
"Sangfor is user-friendly and simple to upgrade."
"The most valuable feature is the three nodes and the free hypervisor."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"We ran into an issue with alerts."
"Scaling the product is fairly easy except for the computing aspect. It would entail another appliance. While not a show stopper, it isn't as easy as dropping in a few extra SSDs."
"While it is possible to implement disk encryption in StarWind using Windows Bitlocker, such a solution can be a little tricky to manage."
"I did not see any indication that StarWinds vSAN is a usable solution with non-GUI instances of Hyper-V."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"The main issue we ran into was the documentation. We attempted to set up the product in our test environment by ourselves and ran into several areas of the documentation that were unclear to us."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"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."
"The processing speed and cost should be improved."
"The migration process could be easier."
"Its virtual machine tools can be improved. These tools should be enhanced for use in other applications and operating systems, such as Linux."
"There is a feature to upgrade multiple VMs simultaneously, but it crashes."
"Sangfor could improve its built-in CAP system. Right now, we need to use an external tool for CAP."
"I would want the product to include Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which can help to easily retrieve the data."
"Sangfor’s hypervisor is not mature enough to handle all the flavors related to industrial needs."
"As far as I know, no hyper-convergence solution includes security, so you have to buy security from another brand. For example, you buy SimpliVity or Nutanix. They don't really have a security solution inside the product. It would be good if there is a security solution inside this solution so that it is not only for the virtualization of CPU, RAM, disk, and network but also for security."
