We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and Rackspace OpenStack based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."It is a very stable solution."
"SANsymphony is flexible, with many potential options for implementation. SANsymphony's can be used with VMware, Hyper-V, or even with a hypervisor agnostic approach. It can also be used for strictly physical non-virtualized solutions."
"It is a stable solution."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"It's a software storage solution that can scale as we like. There is also has a parallel feature that enhances the performance of the storage solution. We can separate storage and computing, and we can scale these two parts of the platform to meet business needs efficiently."
"An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system."
"For us, fault tolerance is the most important feature of DataCore."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"It created a reusable library with OpenStack features."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"There are many services that can be directly used which are not available in VMware."
"Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools."
"The documentation was plentiful and very helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses."
"The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"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."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"Datacore is developing a new WebUI with new dashboards. It is a good idea as the classic GUI is lacking dashboards."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"NVMeoF should be implemented. This protocol will play a major role in storage infrastructure in the future."
"For customers or technicians who don't speak and understand English, it would be great to have other language support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today."
"The seamless integration between MySQL services and the rabbitMQ database can be revised during the debugging phase."
"The line migration is a problem."
"OpenStack's UI, while user-friendly, could be improved to offer a more intuitive experience."
"VMware has a side-to-side replication feature, which is still more mature than Rackspace OpenStack's which can't be used in a production environment."
"OpenStack is difficult for the novice in terms of beginning to use cloud tools."
"It could use more examples in different languages (API use cases)."
"So for the main stability, there have been a couple of issues that I've experienced."
