Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

StarWind VSAN is used as a 2-node replicated storage, which allows us to eliminate single point of failure and re-use our current servers. It is being used across the whole organization as it hosts our critical systems like databases, remote desktop infrastructure and other systems that are most important for our non-stop work.
  • Quick implementation.
  • Runs really well and stable.
  • Good support.
  • No mobile app.
  • Improved performance and reliability.
  • Reduced management time and cost.
The support was very helpful starting from the implementation of StarWind VSAN where they did pretty much all the configuration during the remote session.
During one issue we had (hardware related), the support was quick to react and resolve the issue before any service interruptions occurred.

For our scenario it works really well - highly available replicated storage on two node cluster. Easy to use, good support, works well - all the needed components to make a good product.
Cannot recommend it for other hypervisors than Hyper-V as I haven't used StarWind VSAN on anything else.
