We performed a comparison between Cloudian HyperStore and DataCore SANsymphony based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."
"It is very durable and that is particularly important."
"The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."
"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."
"The DataCore system has been rock solid since we have been using it - from 2007 on."
"The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are many counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage."
"The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage."
"The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs."
"For us, fault tolerance is the most important feature of DataCore."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."
"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."
"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical interface."
"DataCore needs a more efficient and better way to keep track of metrics and counters so that we can do baseline analysis to measure performance."
"The cost is becoming prohibitive since they moved to a subscription model."
"Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"I still see room for improvement with DataCore SANsymphony in the area of alarm and task management."
"I found it a little unnecessary to have to rename the configurations within the graphics console in order to have unique names."
"Its interface could be better."
