We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain.""The technology is stable which is good."

More Quantum ActiveScale Pros →

"The high availability of the solution is important to us.""Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well.""It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability.""High reliability with commodity hardware.""We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage.""What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug.""We have not encountered any stability issues for the product.""The most valuable feature is the stability of the product."

Cons
"We would like to see a self-sufficient installation.""Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems."

More Quantum ActiveScale Cons →

"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement.""Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS.""In the deployment step, we need to create some config files to add Ceph functions in OpenStack modules (Nova, Cinder, Glance). It would be useful to have a tool that validates the format of the data in those files, before generating a deploy with failures.""Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet.""The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication.""The storage capacity of the solution can be improved.""If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable.""An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions."
