We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony 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."It is a stable solution."
"Our central storage has very high availability. DataCore SANsymphony ensures high business continuity."
"During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."
"DataCore's ability to seamlessly move virtual volume data between storage pools as well as their synchronous mirroring has made maintenance and disaster recovery planning achievable."
"The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production."
"Oracle OLTP benchmark to test how it improves the performance while using flash drive NVMe."
"The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage."
"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)."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"The most valuable feature is the stability of the product."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"Most valuable features include replication and compression."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly."
"I still see room for improvement with DataCore SANsymphony in the area of alarm and task management."
"Its interface could be better."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"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."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"I found it a little unnecessary to have to rename the configurations within the graphics console in order to have unique names."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"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."
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
