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

More Cloudian HyperStore Cons →

"While I utilize it for data migration, I would love to do that data migration in a GUI from an ease of use perspective.""The solution should provide extensive reports on backups and backup failures.""Although PowerPath is very mature and has been on the market for more than 15 years there are still a lot of bugs that have been profiled with PowerPath, specifically, during any OS upgrade.""The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution is quite stable, although they have not quite worked out all of the kinks.""The product must adapt to other storage technologies like HPE 3PAR.""The technical support is good but they are not available all the time.""Customers do not choose PowerPath unless they have Unix or Linux."
