We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Accelerate and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"The community support is very good."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"Ceph is not a mature product at this time. Guides are misleading and incomplete. You will meet all kind of bugs and errors trying to install the system for the first time. It requires very experienced personnel to support and keep the system in working condition, and install all necessary packets."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
