We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Accelerate and IBM Spectrum Scale 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)."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."
"GPFS monitoring is the best feature."
"Technical support has been very helpful. They provide us with pretty good solutions that we can implement moving forward."
"Allows us to share files across multiple environments."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share files across different platforms."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We are using it for monitoring all of our storage."
"The profile share is a valuable feature."
"It makes our file system sharing a lot easier, even across different continents. We have had file systems shared across different continents with no performance degradation."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"It would be helpful if there was a graphical user interface that could walk you through the deployment process. The instructions surrounding setup aren't the best. They need to be more step-by-step."
"Maybe it needs integration with HA."
"Making it a little easier to add bad file sets would help. There is a transition to how you add storage and how you add a file set, so making that a little smoother would probably be my recommendation."
"The pricing and licensing model for this solution are complex and it is sometimes difficult to explain it to customers."
"Integration with other vendors is not available."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"They should probably simply the Red Hat implementation portion. This portion was not as straightforward as I would like it to be."
"I believe there is no graphic user interface, so they should include it."
