Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage.""It is a very stable solution.""Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great.""DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay.""The interface is user-friendly.""The DataCore system has been rock solid since we have been using it - from 2007 on.""The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are many counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress).""It is a stable solution."

"Veritas Access is user-friendly and the NAS and SAN volumes are valuable.""It has a huge deduplication ratio for backups of long-term archives.""The product deployment is easy."

Cons
"SANsymphony is missing some features that vSAN has. For example, vSAN has a special feature called continuous data protection. It provides the ability to go back in time to a given moment. You can see what was on your disk in the past up to two weeks. That's a great feature because ransomware attacks are increasingly common, and that provides you some kind of protection.""I still see room for improvement with DataCore SANsymphony in the area of alarm and task management.""There is room for improvement in the graphical interface.""The cost is becoming prohibitive since they moved to a subscription model.""DataCore SANsymphony should integrate file servers at a good price into the solution.""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.""Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today.""The alert system could have more features."

"I would like to see Veritas Access included as an S3 target.""The downtime of Veritas Access could be improved.""They could improve additional fees for the platform's data capacity. It could be more cost-effective."
