We performed a comparison between NetApp StorageGRID and Quantum ActiveScale based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."The implementation with NetApp went smoothly. It is a 'setup and forget' type of appliance."
"The technical support is good."
"StorageGRID is designed for cloud-based, highly scalable storage. Think big names like service providers like Google who need massive storage volumes with scalability. It also offers cloud-enabled storage capabilities with cloud management functionality. So, if you prioritize scalability and cloud integration, StorageGRID is the way to go. Its object-based storage is built specifically for that purpose."
"It improves our operational efficiency."
"The feature of StorageGRID that I find most valuable for ensuring data durability and protection is its Information Lifecycle Management functionality."
"It has improved our operational efficiency through time consumption and logistics by 40 to 50 percent. Everything that had to do with our legacy tape solution has been improved and is now more efficient."
"It has awesome scalability. We consume it with storage appliance nodes, then we just plug and play as we need more."
"Cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain."
"The technology is stable which is good."
"I would like to see them integrate more with the monitoring platforms. It is a bit difficult to get automated monitoring of the system."
"Data retrieval speed could be better."
"It has its quirks here and there, but it is an older NetApp system."
"The integration with more apps has room for improvement."
"The only real issue that we have run into is, when we are cloning, we cannot do a thin provision clone, it has to be a full clone."
"One key improvement I'd like to see in StorageGRID is enhanced visibility for management purposes."
"There was a small amount of confusion when working with StorageGRID and Active Directory for access. We had to do things three to four times resulting in our engineer troubleshooting a couple of things. The location of the menu, along with what is inside the menu: configurations, settings, etc., is not straightforward to users. Most users are Windows-based. So, when make logical changes to the menu which are not similar to Windows, users and administrators get confused."
"I just recommend improving the marketing campaigns in Pakistan."
"We would like to see a self-sufficient installation."
"Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems."
