The product currently requires a significant number of servers to start.

There are also network prerequisites to be met in order to guarantee good security of the architecture, which means that the product is only available to large customers. Besides, the license starts at 100TB.

An Appliance version is being developed with an architecture based on containers which will make it possible to offer DataCore SWARM to everyone.

The product has been evolving since the acquisition by DataCore, but maintaining and updating the product is not always easy and needs to be improved.

For now, we only use DataCore SWARM for a few use cases and therefore a small part of the existing functionalities.
With use we will perhaps have more criticism of the product but not for the moment!

The solution needs simpler architecture; we need many servers to start using the solution. We know that a project is in the roadmap to put the services in a container and we think it will be a very good thing. 

The second thing would be to improve the updates of the solution. We need a "long" time to pass between the patches on each new version. Again, the containers would be a solution to that. 

The last improvement for us is already in the pipeline, and we have been able to test it. It's an all-in-one server solution. This system allows us to do the primary copy of the data on a unique server that we can easily move and then transfer the data inside the data center.

The pricing can definitely be better. It would also help if they made it even more flexible. For example, some customers ask us if they can generally use it for a file. I would like it to make it more flexible for them to use objective storage for things like that.
