Likelihood to Recommend

VMware vSAN

For an SMB, vSAN and other hyper-converged products seem to provide a cost-benefit especially as it relates to future growth and reduced management. VMware vSAN is not, however, a simple-to-understand product. It can be easy to set up and deploy with the proper understanding, but there are serious complexities that need to be understood and mitigated for you to be successful and very happy with its long term care and operation.

Cons

VMware vSAN

  • I have not found anything about VSAN that needs improvement. It does what it is supposed to do, and is easy to work with.

Usability

VMware vSAN 9.3

Deploying and configuring VSAN is a relatively simple process for people that are already used to working in virtual environments, primarily for those that are familiar with vSphere. The compatibility of those two products is amazing. You shouldn't really encounter any issues and if you do, you surely did something wrong.

Support Rating

VMware vSAN

VMware vSAN 6.8
Based on 6 answers
Support is (as always forVMware) top notch and easy to work with. The majority of computer companies are outsourcing their tech staff, and it seems they do as well. But their guys know the product well and are quick to respond to your ticket (if the severity is right!).

Alternatives Considered

VMware vSAN

vSAN is far more integrated than any other SDS solution running on vSphere. It is also a simpler deployment and management model.

Return on Investment

VMware vSAN

  • We spent less on a per gigabyte basis for our vSAN solution than we would have for competing products.
  • We received more pure storage for our vSAN solution than we would have for the same budget with a competing product.
