Red Hat Ceph Storage users mention the need for improved recovery from network and node failures and enhanced performance and stability during rebalancing and recovery. The user interface is complex, the documentation is incomplete, and geo-replication and integration with other platforms lack refinement. High resource consumption and difficulty managing synchronous replication across regions are notable concerns, and they desire better scalability, hardware orchestration, dashboard, and deduplication features.
- "If troubleshooting is needed, the response should be faster."
- "I have not identified any drawbacks, however, the response to public platform inquiries could be faster."
- "The licensing cost is excessively high. This is a significant issue from my perspective."
