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."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 dashboard is very intuitive, and there are a lot of counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"It's a software storage solution that can scale as we like. There is also has a parallel feature that enhances the performance of the storage solution. We can separate storage and computing, and we can scale these two parts of the platform to meet business needs efficiently."
"The features I have found most valuable are the active-active, or so-called grid technology, and the integration into our VMware-vCenter."
"During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."
"Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great."
"Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products."
"Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."
"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."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"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)."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"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."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"The alert system could have more features."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"NVMeoF should be implemented. This protocol will play a major role in storage infrastructure in the future."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"Its interface could be better."
"Datacore is developing a new WebUI with new dashboards. It is a good idea as the classic GUI is lacking dashboards."
"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."
"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."
