"Right now, we have an older StorageGRID. I like that we can grow it."
"The most valuable feature is tiering."
"Duplication, interface and the manageability is good and simple."
"The implementation with NetApp went smoothly. It is a 'setup and forget' type of appliance."
"Cost-effective and easy to deploy."
"The speed of the disks removed the bottleneck from our storage."
"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."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."

Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience."
"Improvements need to be made in the support area."
"I would like to see them integrate more with the monitoring platforms. It is a bit difficult to get automated monitoring of the system."
"The integration with more apps has room for improvement."
"It has its quirks here and there, but it is an older NetApp system."
"The processes around installation and upgrade need improvement."
"The redundancy and reliability are great, but I also see room for improvement there. I would like to see more efficiency in the storage and dedupe/compression solutions."
"Beyond the initial setup, this product is a little bit difficult to configure."
"We want to move towards Azure in the cloud. Right now, the system is all physical."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
