Cons
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""Their cloud services could be improved.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"The price of the software is a bit expensive, so a reduction in cost would make it more competitive.""The support for iMac and protocols should be improved, not all features are available.""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.""Some anti-theft permissions do not transfer well to Qumulo.""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.""In the next release, I would like to see the ability to have more control at a terminal level of the file system.""Qumulo should continue to expand automation and orchestration capabilities."
