Cons
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included.""It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions.""The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better.""The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy.""When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software.""I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."

"Some anti-theft permissions do not transfer well to Qumulo.""The support for iMac and protocols should be improved, not all features are available.""The price of the software is a bit expensive, so a reduction in cost would make it more competitive.""In the next release, I would like to see the ability to have more control at a terminal level of the file system.""The solution could improve availability and improve data protection or data services such as compression of deduplication. In a future release, we'd like to have more cloud API integrations.""In the future, I would like to see non-disruptive updates.""One aspect of Qumulo that I hoped to see improved was its software upgrade process, which did see significant progress during my usage. Initially, upgrading the software resulted in several minutes of system downtime. However, by the time I departed last summer, the downtime had reduced to mere ten seconds. Although I am unsure if Qumulo has yet achieved a completely outage-free upgrade, I simply performed the upgrades early in the morning before the marketing department began its workday, so any downtime was inconsequential.""Qumulo should continue to expand automation and orchestration capabilities."
