Alternatives Considered	StarWind I have not been able to work with same featured product in our organization, however the performance of this platform has been excellent. The support center has been reliable and trustworthy giving us 100% support on daily basis when we deach them. It is affordable to any business enterprise that is ready to implement data storage and transfer programs. The maintenance and scalable cost is reasonable and and the services has been great. Jessica Hull Database Administrator Read full review	DataDirect Networks (DDN) We chose Tintri because it allowed us to no longer have to carefully manage our storage platform. We pretty much set it and forget it. Also, management of Tintri does not require a storage expert. This is no longer a full time job to manage. Incentivized Shawn Umansky Network Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	StarWind It enabled us to upgrade our storage and switch from FC to iSCSI at a reasonable cost. iSCSi is so much less expensive to maintain. StarWind is upgradable and you never lose your investment.
