We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and Oracle Exalogic [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are many counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"I'd have to say that the biggest improvement gained by using SANsymphony has to be the performance of the product."
"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."
"Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage."
"The DataCore system has been rock solid since we have been using it - from 2007 on."
"During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."
"Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients."
"Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage)."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"The solution is constantly evolving."
"Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today."
"I still see room for improvement with DataCore SANsymphony in the area of alarm and task management."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"When I sometimes reboot for maintenance, the connectivity from the iSCSI initiator host could be improved."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"I would like for it to improve into a more ergonomic management console and a translation into the French language. It should have some process for a shutdown of a VM properly in case of a problem."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."
"The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product."
"The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months."
