"The perfect HA solution for SMB"
5/5
What do you like best about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

The HCA offering from Starwind is one of the best values for an SMB looking to have a highly available clustered hypervisor solution at an affordable price point. The StarWind customer support team is fantastic. I have purchased more expensive storage appliances in the past and received nowhere near the level of dedication and support that I have seen from their team. The new storage monitoring dashboard is also an excellent tool; we look forward to any future updates to see what it has in store! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

The only complaint I have is their use of the FedEx Freight Shipping Service for SMB, as we are at a location that does not have a dock, so this created some headache. Storage Performance on the cluster may not be a high as some other solutions due to the replication between nodes, but you can not find a better offering at this price point. Some of the suggestions they have regarding not using EDR tools on the host tools may not be a best practice from a security standpoint, but we do not see it as a significant issue.

"Amazing Product, Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

The appliance meets all of our needs, delivering plenty of power for our virtualized hosting environment. It is easy to use and even easier to walk away from while it manages itself. The support though - that is where the company shines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

There is not much to dislike about the product. It seriously delivers on every turn. The only challenge was the initial cost. The sticker price is high and can be shocking, but you get what you pay for all day long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution to simplify traditional virtual environment"
5/5
What do you like best about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

Starwind HCA is easy to use and support is great to work with. It is nice to have a single company to contact with any problems where previously we would need to contact Dell/NetApp/Cisco with any problem and support may not work well together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

Some documentation is lacking if you are a DIY person, but support is helpful and knowledgeable to fill that gap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great HCA that can run Hyper V with excellent support at a price that can't be beat"
5/5
What do you like best about StarWind HyperConverged Appliance?

What I like most is that StarWind ultimately doesn't force any specific hardware or software. We are able to do our own hardware and software upgrades without limitations. Other vendors require us or do not allow full access to the underlying architecture. We are able to have the best of both worlds with StarWind Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
