We like that we can start small and expand later without much complexity. We initially deployed a 2-node cluster with a witness, and then scaled to support multiple companies.

Most cloud management platforms treat security as a series of separate plug-ins or third-party integrations that you have to stitch together via APIs. Sangfor natively embeds its security DNA right into the software stack. You get built-in distributed firewalls, WAF capabilities, and a closed-loop system for detection and response without having to toggle between different vendor dashboards or manage competing operational interfaces.

What I like best about Sangfor Cloud Platform is its simple and integrated management. It combines computing, storage, networking, and virtualization into a single platform, making deployment and daily operations easier while providing a cost-effective solution for building and managing private clouds.

One drawback of Sangfor Cloud Platform is that its ecosystem and third-party integrations are generally not as extensive as more established platforms like VMware or Nutanix. Organizations with complex environments may find fewer integration options and a smaller community knowledge base when troubleshooting or seeking specialized expertise.

The solution significantly enhances daily productivity, thus providing an intuitive interface where even those with little knowledge can operate. Integration with API for some external solutions works well, and the performance of the solution compared to others in the market is surprising, not to mention that the ROI is much lower compared to the market. Support is always very good and proactive when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of installation and management even of complex environments. I appreciate the HCI platform that includes virtualization, software-defined network, and virtual SAN, stretched cluster, and much more.
