Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top.""They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems""Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time.""We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."

More ScaleIO [EOL] Pros →

"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."

More Springpath [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall.""Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO.""It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc.""There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."

"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."
