We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and IBM Spectrum Accelerate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"I found the solution to be very stable."
"Continuous data protection (CDP), can be used to "protect" again ransomware by recording all write on disk in a log. You can recover your data with incredible time granularity."
"Active-active is the most valuable aspect for us."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"The use of the RAM cache allows you to speed up the writing and reading of data while also allowing for a possible increase in performance by increasing the RAM on the servers."
"Good security with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"I would like for it to improve into a more ergonomic management console and a translation into the French language. It should have some process for a shutdown of a VM properly in case of a problem."
"The alert system could have more features."
"If it could integrate to a cloud gateway, then we could carry it directly to storage, instead of having middleware in between the storage and the cloud."
"Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"Its interface could be better."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"SANsymphony is missing some features that vSAN has. For example, vSAN has a special feature called continuous data protection. It provides the ability to go back in time to a given moment. You can see what was on your disk in the past up to two weeks. That's a great feature because ransomware attacks are increasingly common, and that provides you some kind of protection."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
