We performed a comparison between Oracle ZFS and Panzura based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Nasuni, WekaIO, Oracle and others in File System Software."Oracle ZFS is very fast and it is efficient. It has outperformed any hardware array controller that I've ever come across. With Oracle ZFS on my NAS, which is running five, four terabyte drives, when I've had a drive failure and changed one out, it'll rebuild that array in two hours, or maybe less. When you think you're rebuilding almost four terabytes of data redundancy, that's pretty good using an old AMD Turion hardware, that's nothing to complain about."
"It is not necessarily for the fastest storage or cluster storage, but just for pure storage, it's really hard to beat. It's just been around as long as anything else."
"The replication capability and data security have been the most valuable features."
"The main thing in Panzura is that there are three key components: PanFS, NAS, and collaboration. These are strong features, and a big benefit is that you can access everything from anywhere."
"Its most valuable features are the collaboration, the file snapshots, and the data protection the solution provides."
"When retrieving data from the replication of remote sites, it does not give you immediate results. The RPO and RTO rates could be improved."
"Oracle ZFS does what I've asked it to do, and it has done it very efficiently. The only time I'm running into issues is with Proxmox. If I run ZFS drives, I find my RAM usage is very high. However, I don't have that problem with the TrueNAS system, where I'm running an old N36 Turion with four gigabytes of RAM, and that's running 24/7. There have been no issues with such a low-powered environment there, it works fine, but with Proxmox it seems to go slow."
"ZFS is great for just mass storage, but if you're trying to make fast storage – something like a SAN-type delivery network where you wanted to do any type of RAM disc over the network – it falls flat. ZFS does not do that. It is kind of limiting."
"Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."
"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files."
Oracle ZFS is ranked 3rd in File System Software with 5 reviews while Panzura is ranked 4th in File System Software with 2 reviews. Oracle ZFS is rated 9.0, while Panzura is rated 7.6. The top reviewer of Oracle ZFS writes "Great for box storage; falls flat if you need fast storage". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Panzura writes "Offers features like Master Snapshot which are useful for recovering files and easy to use if you are familiar with familiar with NAS things and networking protocols". Oracle ZFS is most compared with WekaFS, Amazon FSx and Cohesity SpanFS, whereas Panzura is most compared with Nasuni, CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform, Dell PowerScale (Isilon), Amazon FSx and Azure NetApp Files.
