Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients."
"It is a well-proven, automated management tool in all dynamic provisioning, auto-tiering, great performance, parallel I/O, cache speed mechanism, etc."
"The DataCore system has been rock solid since we have been using it - from 2007 on."
"The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs."
"I found the solution to be very stable."
"An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system."
"Continuous data protection (CDP), can be used to "protect" again ransomware by recording all write on disk in a log. You can recover your data with incredible time granularity."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"The solution is stable."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS."
"I would like to see SMPA (Shared Multi-Port Array) technology developed with the aim of allowing a configuration identical to other storage arrays."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"NVMeoF should be implemented. This protocol will play a major role in storage infrastructure in the future."
"I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparing."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."
"The line migration is a problem."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
