StarWind Virtual SAN is cost-effective, and you don't need any extra physical server for installation. It is easy to deploy and use. Backup and restoration of that backup is easy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a storage issue in our organization. We are a medium-sized organization. We didn't need to spend much on solutions, so we headed towards a cloud base because it was cost-effective.

Affordable but rock solid product
What do you like best about the product?
StarWind vSAN allows me to build HA Hyper-V cluster on just two nodes, saving as much as 30% on hardware(with other solutions you need at least 3 nodes for truly fault-tolerant cluster). It also offers 30-day free evaluation period which you can extend longer to trial the product before signing the contract. Support is first very professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of its documentation was a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
StarWind vSAN creates high-available, performant shared storage for our 2-node Hyper-V cluster, allowing all virtual machines to automatically failover to the other working node in case one node in the cluster suffers a failure. The failover is almost instant and non perceivable to end users.

An SDS Solution Easy to set up and Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
An SDS solution under vSPhere that is easy to set up and efficient, thanks to the simplicity of its console and proactive support. Indeed Storage provisioning is very simple and synchronous mirroring is child's play. High availability coupled with VMware's HA cluster works perfectly. Even if you still have to follow some instructions at the hardware level, the Starwind solution remains detached from it, unlike solutions like vSphere VSAN or Microsoft's S2D. Indeed this solution works on practically any server. And a big advantage the option of HeartBeat to replace the Witness Node.
What do you dislike about the product?
a zest of sexier design for the console would be a plus :-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A geocluster with only 2 sites because no need for witnesses thanks to Heartbeat
Works well with XEN
