"Comprehensive management from a single console and practical, reliable VM migrations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sangfor Cloud Platform?

We use it on a couple of clusters, one with 2 nodes and another with 3, and what I appreciate most is being able to manage everything from a single console: VMs, storage, and networking, without constantly switching between three different tools. The 2-node cluster, which I initially had some doubts about, has also proved stable, and we haven’t had any downtime.

I’ve also found VM migration very practical, both from another Sangfor cluster and from other platforms, with minimal downtime even for large virtual machines (2 TB). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sangfor Cloud Platform?

So far, we haven’t encountered any significant defects or issues. However, it would be useful to have an automated procedure for safely shutting down the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sangfor Cloud Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using a mix of VMware and Hyper-V, and the most noticeable difference for us was being able to get everything from a single vendor: servers, storage, virtualization, and even the switches in a stack, which have proved to deliver excellent performance. Also, when there’s a problem, you don’t have to be bounced between three different support teams to figure out who’s responsible.

The feature I use most is creating and migrating VMs, and that’s where the benefit really shows: you move machines between nodes in just a few steps and can balance resources effectively without a headache, making day-to-day operations easier too.

One pleasant surprise was the 2-node cluster. We thought we’d need a third server for quorum, but instead we added a witness node that cost us a few hundred euros. It really makes a difference for a small site.

Previously, we had two different virtualization platforms to manage, with separate consoles, licenses, and skill sets. With Sangfor HCI, we’ve brought everything together on 2- and 3-node clusters, and day-to-day management has become much simpler. Distributing the load across nodes is now a routine task rather than a project in itself, and at the smaller site we were able to achieve high availability at a modest cost thanks to the witness.
