Cloudian HyperStore vs NetApp ONTAP comparison

"The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."

"The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."

"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."

"It is very durable and that is particularly important."

"My experience with NetApp is its very easy to learn and intuitive. I can figure out just about everything."

"The initial setup and deployment were straightforward"

"The solution is very easy to configure."

"It is very easy to scale, so we started with a four-node cluster and added it to a six-node cluster. We've also done some other modifications in between."

"When it accesses regular files, it does so as an NFS workload, which retrieves data quickly."

"I love the replication technologies which keep a customer out of risk. At any time, we can do a seamless failover/failback, and have the latest data on it. The SnapVault is another excellent feature. It's used for remote disk-based backups so we don't need to depend on tape backups with their long restore times."

"It's more intuitive to use as they are moving away from command line into more graphical interfaces, which are somewhat easier to use."

"Stability and performance have been great."

"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."

"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."

"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."

"I'm waiting for the NVMe, end-to-end."

"The toughest thing that we have right now is a cabling issue. There are so many that you need to connect."

"With NetApp ONTAP, the technology is all there, but its management process needs some simplification."

"It should be easier to put in tech support cases. They should streamline the online support and chat."

"I would like to see more in the public cloud space around things like object storage. A bit more granularity around how that gets deployed would be nice, but other than that I think they've got it nailed."

"There is room for improvement in the stability. They have been trying to become simpler, and as a result, there have been road bumps along the way. I have personally experienced this."

"We would like to have additional cloud integration and the ability to Snapshot directly to Amazon. This would help us reduce costs, provide us additional disaster recovery, and give us a site that's not owned by us."

"The rate of technology could be improved."

"The solution is cheap."

"Our fees are approximately half a dollar per gigabyte."

"We save a lot because of the deduplication and compression."

"They could reduce the price."

"The data compression and deduplication have kept us from buying more disks these past three years."

"Because of the dedupe technologies and Data ONTAP servers, we have saved 20% on hardware. This is a lot of money for us."

"Depending on the licensing you choose the price varies. For our company and our needs, the cost is very fair."

"This solution has helped our organization reduce our overall cost of storage. We're part of the NetApp OnDemand, where we lease it. Also, it doesn't take as many people to administer the solution as some other products."

"Recently, we have seen ROI."

"Because of its manageability, we have fewer people managing it."
