"An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system.""The synchronous mirror allows us to operate a fully redundant storage solution that is distributed across two sites.""The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production.""It allows data to be available from two DataCore servers.""Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great.""For us, fault tolerance is the most important feature of DataCore.""The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage.""During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."

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 →

"Its interface could be better.""I would like for it to improve into a more ergonomic management console and a translation into the French language. It should have some process for a shutdown of a VM properly in case of a problem.""Unified storage (all block, objects, and files) should be in a single storage pool with unified storage concepts, hence providing the user with whatever they want.""Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial.""It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes.""Right now, the version used is run on Microsoft Windows Server. Having a Linux version or even an appliance would be better as it would eliminate the use of additional licensing for another piece of hardware.""Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly.""One limitation of this solution is that it's Windows-based, e.g. one requirement to install DataCore SANsymphony SDS is putting it on a Windows server machine. It relies on Windows and that is a limitation because there are some customers who are looking for non Windows systems."
