Cloudian HyperStore vs NetApp ONTAP comparison

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

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

"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."

"Considering a customer's need for a cost-effective solution, Cloudian HyperStore fits well for data protection scenarios."

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

"Its ease of use, for the most part, through the interfaces is valuable."

"The solution is certainly reliable."

"The scalability is very good. It enables us to use different product lines within the same operating system."

"The most valuable feature is the very high IOPS rating which you can achieve with it."

"It's very fast, NetApp is always dependable, so if we have an issue, they're very responsive."

"You can scale the product up or out."

"It most valuable feature is its stability. A product has to be stable."

"The solution has helped our organization reduce its overall cost of storage by allowing us to have multiple sites using the multi-tenant security model, segregated from each other, while at the same time using the same resources."

"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."

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

"I would like to see FlexGroup volumes come to parity in terms of software features with Flex volumes. It seems like FlexGroup volumes have massive scalability, but their features set is not the same as Flex volumes, so we are currently unable to use it."

"The older UI is not ideal."

"I could see the GUI being a little bit more refined, the presentation layer being a little stronger, a little less sluggish."

"The lack of an API is a big thing for us that needs to be improved. It needs proper API support."

"We are always looking for more security enhancements and ways to continue to provide security encryption, whether it's data in rest or security in transit. We would also like to have more enhanced encryption beyond the regular TLS and 256-bit."

"I would like more diagnostic generation. Right now, it's a pain to go into the controller and do a full diagnostic and export."

"The rate of technology could be improved."

"cDot only scales to 24 notes so scalability should be better, bigger, but we are one of the only customers that are facing this problem."

"The solution is cheap."

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

"There are two consumption methods: pay as you go and subscription. Pay as you go... is a little expensive but worth it."

"In the past, you didn't have to buy separate products. They were mostly included with the purchase. In the end, it's more expensive to buy it separate than together. If you are going to need it, one package at the beginning is cheaper."

"We have seen ROI as we can fit a lot more storage in one rack."

"The product costs an arm and leg; it's expensive."

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

"We have seen ROI, especially with the deduplication. We have a high ratio of deduplication and are way past 70 percent of our VDI, as we have almost 400TBs on our VDI. We have been able to save at least a quarter of a petabyte of space."

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

"NetApp ONTAP is moderately priced."
