Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."Oracle OLTP benchmark to test how it improves the performance while using flash drive NVMe."
"Our central storage has very high availability. DataCore SANsymphony ensures high business continuity."
"An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system."
"Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage."
"I'd have to say that the biggest improvement gained by using SANsymphony has to be the performance of the product."
"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 synchronous mirror allows us to operate a fully redundant storage solution that is distributed across two sites."
"Active-active is the most valuable aspect for us."
"The solution is stable."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"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 initial setup isn't too difficult."
"I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report."
"If you're dealing with big databases or transactional databases, it might not be the best-suited solution. The design of DataCore's solution isn't oriented towards this type of data."
"Unified storage (all block, objects, and files) should be in a single storage pool with unified storage concepts, hence providing the user with whatever they want."
"For customers or technicians that don't speak and understand English, it could be great to have other languages support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"The alert system could have more features."
"DataCore SANsymphony should integrate file servers at a good price into the solution."
"I think an easier way to open a service call, right through the DataCore GUI, would be an improvement, especially when there is an urgent issue."
"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."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"The line migration is a problem."
"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 seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
