Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product has good performance.""Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."

More INFINIDAT InfiniBox Pros →

"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.).""Logic/software management""Latency is definitely the big key for us.""Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going.""Implementation of the solution is very simple.""Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately.""Scale out is a differentiator for them, especially in the enterprise market. It's key for a lot of customers.""The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."

Cons
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages.""The response time for read requests can be improved."

More INFINIDAT InfiniBox Cons →

"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature.""The interface look and feel could be improved.""I'm hoping to see Active Directory integration. Right now, you still have to use a local admin account to log in and manage everything.""I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files.""The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI.""The management graphical interface needs more improvement.""I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it.""A single pane of glass to monitor/manage multiple arrays would be helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
  • "The best features come included without any additional cost."

    • More INFINIDAT InfiniBox Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Kaminario is very competitive on price. They also have a pay per TB model."
  • "All features are provided in the licensing. The cost of Kaminario was less than the cost of a hybrid array."
  • "I would like them to come down in price. It is as expensive as EMC, Hitachi, and other major vendors."
  • "Licensing is very straightforward. The cost was considerably lower than other products we looked at."
  • "The "extra" costs associated with features and options that are available off the shelf with Kaminario, make their value proposition extremely competitive."
  • "The licensing is all-inclusive."
  • "The Kaminario setup is simple and there are no hidden licensing fees so this area is a relief."
