Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Portworx is a simple solution. It's similar to Pure Storage products. They're all easy to use and install. You need to have a little expertise with containers to use Portworx, but it will be no problem for you if you understand containers.""A custom IBM script is designed to tackle the storage management challenges within containerized environments, providing crucial data services and features required for enterprise applications.""The solution is user-friendly.""Portworx virtualizes the aspects of the underlying block storage. That is good because they can also use block storage for their future deployment instead of just NFS.""I like that you have a small dedicated file system that is fast and resilient for containerized workloads.""The best thing about Portworx is the Stork, they have called the VPS (Volume Replacement Strategy) and they also have topology awareness, and these are the three features I like."

"Overall the solution works well.""It is a very stable program."

Cons
"The integration has room for improvement.""I think the vendor could provide more training for new users who may not be familiar with containers.""I would like to see a more native mapping to mainframe-type systems.""It would be highly advantageous to include an integrated backup solution within the same license, rather than purchasing backup separately.""The documentation could be better.""They have not integrated Portworx with Ondat since they are too focused now on Pure Storage APIs and not on users like us."

More Portworx Enterprise Cons →

"I would like to see more platforms added.""The Veritas support for Access Appliance could improve. They are a pioneer in the industry, and they provide an enterprise-level solution. However, when comparing the storage, they can't compete with the NetBackup solution."
