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 most valuable feature of DataCore SANsymphony SDS is its high availability. This solution also exhibits good performance and has high stability."
"The synchronous mirror allows us to operate a fully redundant storage solution that is distributed across two sites."
"During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs."
"The use of the RAM cache allows you to speed up the writing and reading of data while also allowing for a possible increase in performance by increasing the RAM on the servers."
"SANsymphony is flexible, with many potential options for implementation. SANsymphony's can be used with VMware, Hyper-V, or even with a hypervisor agnostic approach. It can also be used for strictly physical non-virtualized solutions."
"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)."
"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."
"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 main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides."
"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years."
"Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical interface."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"The cost is becoming prohibitive since they moved to a subscription model."
"Its interface could be better."
"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."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better."
