We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technology is stable which is good.""Workflow is easy to manage and maintain."

More Quantum ActiveScale Pros →

"The solution is pretty stable.""Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well.""We use the solution for cloud storage.""What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug.""The high availability of the solution is important to us.""Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors.""We have not encountered any stability issues for the product.""Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."

Cons
"Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems.""We would like to see a self-sufficient installation."

More Quantum ActiveScale Cons →

"An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""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.""Routing around slow hardware.""Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS.""Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet.""I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery.""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."
