We performed a comparison between Cloudian HyperStore and DataCore SANsymphony based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."
"It is very durable and that is particularly important."
"The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."
"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are a lot of counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"The DataCore system has been rock solid since we have been using it - from 2007 on."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its versatility, with there being support for all new hardware technologies and platforms, disc mirroring and very effective auto tiering."
"Active-active is the most valuable aspect for us."
"The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are many counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great."
"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."
"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."
"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical interface."
"When I sometimes reboot for maintenance, the connectivity from the iSCSI initiator host could be improved."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"The solution is constantly evolving."
"One limitation of this solution is that it's Windows-based, e.g. one requirement to install DataCore SANsymphony SDS is putting it on a Windows server machine. It relies on Windows and that is a limitation because there are some customers who are looking for non Windows systems."
"There is no way of quickly matching the exact size of a vDisk to a disk pool."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report."
