Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very durable and that is particularly important.""The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud.""The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption.

"I'd have to say that the biggest improvement gained by using SANsymphony has to be the performance of the product.""SANsymphony is flexible, with many potential options for implementation. SANsymphony's can be used with VMware, Hyper-V, or even with a hypervisor agnostic approach. It can also be used for strictly physical non-virtualized solutions.""Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage.""Our central storage has very high availability. DataCore SANsymphony ensures high business continuity.""It allows data to be available from two DataCore servers.""The features I have found most valuable are the active-active, or so-called grid technology, and the integration into our VMware-vCenter.""Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients.""The use of the RAM cache allows you to speed up the writing and reading of data while also allowing for a possible increase in performance by increasing the RAM on the servers."

Cons
"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.""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.""It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."

More Cloudian HyperStore Cons →

"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS.""Its interface could be better.""Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today.""For customers or technicians who don't speak and understand English, it would be great to have other language support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used.""If you're dealing with big databases or transactional databases, it might not be the best-suited solution. The design of DataCore's solution isn't oriented towards this type of data.""I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper.""I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report.""I would like to see SMPA (Shared Multi-Port Array) technology developed with the aim of allowing a configuration identical to other storage arrays."
