Operations Director at Kualo Limited

Customer Service: The assistance we’ve received from our first contact to date has been remarkable - markedly higher than elsewhere. Their team have really gone the extra mile for us in all areas of deployment, including making recommendations for other areas of our virtualisation infrastructure. Everyone in their team seems to be committed to providing great customer service. Technical Support: StorPool’s technical team has been incredible from day one. They always go out of their way to provide fantastic support, and frequently step outside of what would be their 'official' remit to provide advice and insight into how we can improve other areas of our infrastructure to make the most of their solution. Their team are highly competent, and we consider them partners who truly want the best for us.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"Creating snapshots within seconds for big disks has helped our different migration projects since it allows us to perform them in a short period of time."
"The team behind it was very engaged and had the skills and ability to support a service provider."
"Performance, redundancy, scalability and cost-effectiveness. StorPool delivers superbly in all of these areas."

Room for Improvement

"I have personally met with multiple Storpool engineers and spoke about different options and features. There are too many features that we don't know or use yet. My recommendation would be to promote the new features and give users different examples of how they can be used and how we can benefit from them."
"Monitoring and statistics UI is a bit clumsy."
"Live and historical performance statistics would be useful, though my understanding is that this is on the way in a future release."

Pricing

"It provides us with a significant reduction in TCO due to their pay-as-you-grow licensing model, which means we don’t have to pay upfront for hardware and licensing for capacity thStorPoolat we don’t yet need to use."
"StorPool software is cost-effective and gives us a pricing advantage over our competitors."
"StorPool's pricing and licensing model is very transparent. As always, one has to due his due diligence when choosing a product like distributed storage solutions."
