We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Accelerate and ScaleIO [EOL] 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 ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"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"
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
