DataCore Swarm's valuable features include flexibility, S3 protocol compatibility, scalability, and robust architecture. Users appreciate its ability to work with any hardware, user-friendly interfaces, and cluster replication. Its support for erasure coding ensures resilience, while object locking enhances data security. The platform's capability to scale efficiently by adding disks or servers and create domains, tenants, and buckets easily is highly regarded. Immutability and a self-healing system are key for data integrity and availability.
- "With DataCore Swarm, we have transitioned from tape-based backups, which were long, to Swarm, making the process more rapid and efficient."
- "DataCore Swarm is highly available."
- "The ability for the solution to use any new hardware quickly and without administration is a great thing in the context of hosting."
Pricing and flexibility need improvement for DataCore Swarm, as it should offer objective storage for various files. Many servers are necessary at the start, limiting availability to large customers. An easier architecture with container-based solutions could help. Updates and upgrade processes from CentOS to Rocky are complicated, requiring enhancement. A more streamlined installation process would benefit users, and a simpler server requirement could aid smaller companies in adopting the technology.
