Leverages seamless data access with efficient storage management

Pros

"I would give customer service and technical support a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10 based solely on my own experience."

Cons

"I evaluate the simplicity of managing large volumes of data via Scality RING's user interface as limited because the user interface is mainly used for administration or monitoring purposes."

Clients appreciate seamless data transfer and robust storage while maintaining adaptability in evolving architectures

Pros

"We have virtually zero data loss thanks to this resilience."

Cons

Support excels in providing a seamless backup storage experience

Pros

"Scality RING has had a positive impact on our business in that we can store backups more securely than before even though this has nothing directly to do with Scality RING but also with an S3."

Cons

"Scality RING has contributed to overall company costs in that it has not reduced costs but rather increased them because we are now using this product as an additional protection mechanism for the backup."

Provides a cost-effective solution for our tremendous amount of data while meeting the performance thresholds

Pros

"Scality RING has influenced our approach to scaling in different dimensions by providing a cost-effective solution for the tremendous amount of data we generate every day for each customer. It allows us to store, sort, and analyze data effectively while meeting our performance thresholds. "

Cons

"There are too many changes because it's software-defined storage and host-based. They should reduce the number of patches and enhance product reliability and stability. When releasing new versions, they should perform thorough quality checks instead of flooding us with patches. "

Unifies data management with versatile interfaces for diverse needs

Pros

"The best functionality in Scality RING is the ability to handle three interfaces over a single infrastructure: S3, NFS, and SMB."

Cons

"What we are currently missing and will be demanding in the new tender is an additional external backup of all data, ideally on a simple system, to safeguard against any severe local incidents so that we still have the data protected elsewhere."

Has the ability to share applications on a single storage system

Pros

"I would rate Scality RING 10 out of 10."

Cons

"When considering the initial setup of Scality RING in 2015, it was, at first, very complicated. Installation and documentation were still being finalized."

Hassle-free administration boosts our data backup strategy

Pros

"The best functionality of Scality RING is its ease of administration; it is out of the box and was set up for us in collaboration with Scality and HP."

Cons

"While Scality claims to be 100% compatible with Amazon S3, it seems this isn't entirely true; there are instances where specific backup tools require S3 to create checksums over written backups, which Scality does not support, unlike Amazon S3."
