DataCore SANsymphony Reviews & Product Details

Datacore Sansymphony allow fast access to your storage and you can aggregate all your old storage bay.

It can replicate your data between server on other rooms or sites. Failover, replication and failback are easy to use and completly transparent for users in production.

Integration with vsphere is very easy and replicated connections are well managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The console is not user friendly, I prefer web based administration in html5.

An update comme with the last version. It's better but not very user friendly for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the builtin mirror function our DataCore Storage Cluster has an 100% availability quote over the last ten years. You can update, migrate, power off one server and the other one goes seemlesly active.

Also the user friendly admin interface helps new IT stuff to handle the software when they are new in the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DataCore takes its time to release support for current OS e.g. Windows Server 2019. I also think that the ressource portal could be a little more structured. You have to search a lot to find the right support ressources - but you find them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is my first datacore environment that has now been running for about 7 months and we have had no problems thus far. It has been extremely easy to manage to the point that I rarely do anything with it. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To date, I have found nothing that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most useful features are the continuity of service, mirroring and auto-tiering, redundant storage and the associated performance. We enjoy great reliability, flexibility and performance. DataCore helps to use memory efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually, I have found nothing that I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation of this hyper-converged infrastructure in our school this summer with two servers directly attached. It works perfectly!!

The parallel I/O function is very useful when there are many requests for read/write access to the disks. The administration is simple and easy. * It is possible to create a virtual disk very easily, and moving the virtual machines is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product update system is not very simple and the administration console is a little old Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SANSymphony provides 100% uptime from it's mirrored disks and redundant paths.This means that maintenance can be performed at any time on disk subsystems without interruption to business systems. This coupled with it's vendor agnostic hardware support, speed from it's data caching and easy to administer interface make it an excellent product for data storage. Datacore support is very good, they have a very quick response times and good diagnostics are built right into the software to analyse any issues that may occur. I've found a lot of support is also offered outside the scope of SANSymphony, for instance host configuration tips and they showed me a brilliant reference in their knowledge base for fibre optic grades recently - not something I'd expect a software vendor to offer!

Having to calculate virtual disk sizes when provisioning disks to prevent over subscription of disk pools can be a little tricky, but I believe this is more an issue with disk geometry than SANSymphony itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is easy to install, easy to manage and is stable. The company has been using this product for almost two decades now and have very few issues. Our downtime is almost zero for volumes served to our customers. The application is windows based and functions really well, very stable. I don't have to think about redundancy, having two systems built to mirror each other takes care of that. If one side is down, customers stay connected on the secondary active side.

The software is windows based. It would be nice if linux was supported. Not a negative, but stability has improved with the current windows versions. Console may feel dated. Maybe design a snap-in style console/manager where I can organize the most commonly used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With datacore we have a redundant storage, so we have a higher availability of our virtual servers.

It is a very stable and product with good performance. Since installation, the system runs stable without any problems until now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One time we had lost the communication between the hardware servers and after that we needed the datacore support to bring the mirror back online.

The support was good and fast, but I wish there would be a better functionality to bring back the system online without support.

But as the failure was not datacores fault (was a hardware issue) and apart from this we never needed their support it is not a bis problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the BCP and the teering to improve the performance. The facility to use the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In this product, if you have a problem the support help you to resolve it. Well i dislike nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

La solution sansynfony allie performances et sécurité. Elle est facile a administrer et permet une excellente sécurisation des données. Elle est utilisée au quotidien dans mon ultrastructure pour le stockage en réplication de nos données de virtualisation de serveurs et de vdi. Elle a grandement facilité la gestion du teering et de la réplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

La solution nécessite une bonne connaissance à l’installation et la configuration. Même si l'interface reste claire elle nécessite un petit apprentissage dans sont utilisation. Cependant la visualisation des éléments clés se fait sans problèmes. En cas de crash nous n'avons pas eu de soucis de resynchronisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
