Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)

Starwind HyperConverged Appliance is used in a two-node cluster running HyperV. HCA has allowed for easily entering the hyper-converged market, kept costs down, and added much resiliency to my on-premise network. It addresses my virtualization needs while being very user-friendly, budget friendly, and management friendly. It solves my highly available virtualization problem.
  • Virtual san.
  • Virtualization
  • Budget
  • Management Console.
  • ROI
  • Resilient
  • Great performance.
Support is second to none compared to other vendors I've worked with. These folks are on top of it at all times. No matter the time of day or year, if something is amiss, I get a notification from support, and they are eager to solve the problem. I would put Starwind support up against any other support out there.
Nearly zero downtime since I started using Starwind. My hosts are up and resilient. Any problems have mostly been attributed to the Hypervisor or server OS. The vSan piece just works. It runs smoothly, upgrades smoothly, and does its job without much problem. The management UI is a little rough but otherwise works great.

HCA is well suited for the SMB space. Schools, non-profits, and budget-conscious orgs that want to virtualize their environment. HCA is hypervisor agnostic. My experience is with HyperV, and it works great! HCA is well suited for two or more hosts. The team works with you to spec what you need and is very responsive along the way.
