StorageGRID is designed for cloud-based, highly scalable storage. Think big names like service providers like Google who need massive storage volumes with scalability. It also offers cloud-enabled storage capabilities with cloud management functionality. So, if you prioritize scalability and cloud integration, StorageGRID is the way to go. Its object-based storage is built specifically for that purpose.

The ability to get to the StorageGRID from anywhere on my network. The solution is remote. You don't have to be at a physical location.

The feature of StorageGRID that I find most valuable for ensuring data durability and protection is its Information Lifecycle Management functionality.

The backup features are valuable. I've heard from our backup and data protection people that our clients are very satisfied with the performance in junction with the backup, which they archive on this type of object storage.

It has awesome scalability. We consume it with storage appliance nodes, then we just plug and play as we need more.

There was a small amount of confusion when working with StorageGRID and Active Directory for access. We had to do things three to four times resulting in our engineer troubleshooting a couple of things. The location of the menu, along with what is inside the menu: configurations, settings, etc., is not straightforward to users. Most users are Windows-based. So, when make logical changes to the menu which are not similar to Windows, users and administrators get confused.

One key improvement I'd like to see in StorageGRID is enhanced visibility for management purposes.

The only real issue that we have run into is, when we are cloning, we cannot do a thin provision clone, it has to be a full clone.

The price is something that NetApp could improve, as with most companies. NetApp is known for not being the cheapest storage option, which is also valid for StorageGRID. There are other storage options on the market which we are aware of and have done proofs of concept for, but you cannot really compare the list prices because, as a big user of NetApp storages, we have totally different prices than some list prices. Still, the price information we got for other options are almost always less expensive than StorageGRID.

I would like to see them integrate more with the monitoring platforms. It is a bit difficult to get automated monitoring of the system.

It has its quirks here and there, but it is an older NetApp system.
