Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."For us, fault tolerance is the most important feature of DataCore."
"Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients."
"The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs."
"The most valuable feature of DataCore SANsymphony SDS is its high availability. This solution also exhibits good performance and has high stability."
"I found the solution to be very stable."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"Mirroring is the most valuable feature because I can provide a high-level of service and optimize the use of obsolete storage."
"It allows data to be available from two DataCore servers."
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"Management could be improved. The management console sometimes reacts very slowly."
"The solution is constantly evolving."
"DataCore SANsymphony should integrate file servers at a good price into the solution."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparing."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"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."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
