We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and Rackspace OpenStack based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."The interface is user-friendly."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its versatility, with there being support for all new hardware technologies and platforms, disc mirroring and very effective auto tiering."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"Oracle OLTP benchmark to test how it improves the performance while using flash drive NVMe."
"DataCore's ability to seamlessly move virtual volume data between storage pools as well as their synchronous mirroring has made maintenance and disaster recovery planning achievable."
"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."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly."
"Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today."
"We are waiting for container support (on the roadmap), as well as a user-friendly full web-administration capability, and an improved API."
"If it could integrate to a cloud gateway, then we could carry it directly to storage, instead of having middleware in between the storage and the cloud."
"I found it a little unnecessary to have to rename the configurations within the graphics console in order to have unique names."
"Right now, the version used is run on Microsoft Windows Server. Having a Linux version or even an appliance would be better as it would eliminate the use of additional licensing for another piece of hardware."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"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."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
"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."
"The line migration is a problem."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
