Qumulo has improved the way my organization functions in several ways. One of the biggest improvements was authentication, which is a security feature for SMB and FTP. We set up the clusters for Qumulo, and the main spaces are accessed seamlessly for Windows and Linux, which we were using it for. That layer of authentication was great. Depending on who you are working with, we were using either standard LDAP or another directory. I work with a number of different compute end users in connecting the data files. For example, with it being a NAS, we were able to move beyond traditional NAS limitations. Different groups could access these files and authenticate through Active Directory, Windows, Mac, or Linux, and the security feature really helped a lot as far as authentication.

The most valuable feature in Qumulo is the scaling feature, as Qumulo file data platform is optimized for scale, so we could support petabytes of data, billions of files, millions of operations, and thousands of users.

The most valuable features of Qumulo are its rolling updates and all-day availability. No failover is available in Qumulo by default, but we discussed it with our Qumulo contact and enabled a failover. If we have a disaster with our file server, nothing is recoverable. However, with Kumolo, we have a failover and a second cluster standing dormant.

The most valuable features of Qumulo are the ease of management and special permissions that are quick to enable. The overall performance of the solution is good.

The most valuable feature of Qumulo is the ability to share files and reliability.

The valuable features include ease of use, the ability to update without downtime and speed, particularly IO speed in the storage and file systems.

The data protection algorithm to protect the data between the nodes has been the most valuable feature. The integration with backup platforms such as Veeam and Veritas has also been valuable.

The ratio of total operational cost to complexity versus feature set is very good.

The most valuable feature is real-time analytics. The data that you receive from the storage, such as the IOPS, is an essential feature. This is the main competitive advantage against the other products on the market.

Qumulo can be integrated with AWS or Google Cloud.

The feature that I like most is the analytics part of the file system. It offers good insight into the process including what and where things are happening, including which users and what files are involved.

They have implemented the most important features and they're steadily enhancing it. The update schedule and roadmap are such that every two weeks, there are new features being released.
