The initial setup of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is easy. I am not sure how long it took to deploy HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, but I haven't heard about any disadvantages when it comes to the time taken for the deployment. I remember that one of our company's clients who had purchased the product never mentioned the product's setup phase being complex. One of the drawbacks with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric stems from the fact that the product's upgrade was not straightforward, and it was a complex process since one of the teams in my company who deals with the tool found the upgrade part to be tough. The solution is deployed on an on-premises model. My company has two dedicated staff members to look after the deployment and maintenance phases of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

I rate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric seven out of 10. I haven't seen much innovation from the company in the last couple of years. Only in the last four or five months have I seen some dynamism in them. Something has changed, and now they're looking futuristic. There wasn't much on the roadmap in the past two or three years. Maybe they had some ideas they weren't talking about, but I've seen a shift in the last few months. My advice to potential users is to understand your use case. You wouldn't use this product in certain scenarios, but Ezmeral is a good option if you need to meet multiple requirements with a single product. Other products might work better when you have a specialized requirement for one specific domain. You go for Ezmeral if you're looking for a one-stop shop.

Valuable Features

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"My customers find the product cheaper compared to other solutions. The previous solution that we used did not have unified analytics like the runtime or the analog."
"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric can be accessed from any namespace globally as you would access it from a machine using an NFS."

Room for Improvement

"HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is not compatible with third-party tools."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Upgrading Ezmeral to a new version is a pain. They're trying to make the solution more container-friendly, so I think they're going in the right direction. The only problem we've had in the past was the upgrades. The process isn't smooth due to how the Red Hat operating system upgrades currently work."

Pricing

"There is a need for my company to pay for the licensing costs of the solution."
"The tool's price is cheap and based on a usage basis. The solution's licensing costs are yearly and there are no extra costs."
"HPE is flexible with you if you are an existing customer. They offer different models that might be beneficial for your organization. It all depends on how you negotiate."
