"What I like about this program, is that it's quite fast, because you pay for your usage."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the shared folder."
"Its performance and security features are valuable."
"From an availability perspective it's fantastic; from a security perspective it's fantastic."
"There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"Easy to use object storage solution that's scalable and stable. Its technical support team is customer-friendly."
"It’s very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Zadara is its ease of use and safety. Overall the solution is a complete package, it has all the features needed."
"One of the most valuable features is its integration with other cloud solutions. We have a presence within Amazon EC2 and we leverage compute instances in there. Being able to integrate with compute, both locally within Zadara, as well as with other cloud vendors such as Amazon, is very helpful, while also being able to maintain extremely low latency between those connections."
"The processing is much faster with this product."
"Being able to scale on demand, and being able to get out of our security operation center, and not having to purchase hardware upfront, has drastically reduced the overhead that was required to maintain our information. We have also gained additional capabilities in terms of speed of replicating that information."
"The most valuable features of Zadara are its visibility and simplicity to use."
"One of the most useful features is that they provide iSCSI as a service."
"Zadara Storage Cloud having 24/7 management saves me support and engineering costs because the storage and computing are managed by a third-party. We are able to focus more attention on the customer, which is truly our core business. Even at 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM at night, someone will answer, which is important."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in terms of deployment options."
"The solution could always be more user-friendly."
"What would make Google Cloud Storage better is if it provided more storage."
"It is stable, but it can always be more stable."
"They need more enhancements in the security features."
"User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users."
"It's actually quite complete and we don't have any issues with the solution."
"There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing."
"The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost."
"I would like to see them be a little bit more proactive in terms of the patches and updates that are available. I would like to see more disclosure and information around what fixes or what enhancements are available within a patch, and help in coordinating and scheduling that. Right now, it's driven more by the customer in reaching out via a support ticket."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The management interface is more geared towards end-users rather than a service partner like ourselves, and there are improvements that can be made around that."
"The range of support of VMware could be better. It can support Windows, however, it cannot support other operating systems like IBM AIX. This needs to improve."
"Having iSCSI over the internet using a VPN, the IPSec tunnel is really the only thing that I find missing from this product."
"Cost-wise, because it's a pay-per-use model, it may ultimately end up costing us more in the long run than something we developed ourselves."
"Some of the features are a little bit slow to come to market."
"There are still some storage features that they lack. For example, other vendors implemented the auto-tiering feature a long time ago, while Zadara Storage Cloud is just coming out with this feature today. So, they are a little bit late compared to the market."
