I would like to say that the day we started implementing this the did not face even a single issue. Hence for me and my project, I can say no dislike for the Longhorn till now.

However I have two dislike points:

High Configuration System Requirement: To ensure smooth and efficient operation of the process, it is essential to have a system with a high level of configuration. This includes having sufficient processing power, memory, and storage capacity that can handle the demands of the process without experiencing performance bottlenecks or slowdowns.

Impact of Recent Driver and Security Architecture Changes: It is important to note that recent significant changes in driver and security architecture may result in certain issues when using older devices. These changes, designed to enhance system performance and strengthen security measures, may not be fully compatible with outdated hardware or software. As a result, older devices may experience compatibility problems, decreased performance, or potential security vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

delivers simplified, easy to deploy and upgrade, 100% open source, cloud-native persistent block storage without the cost overhead of open core or proprietary alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

required a high configuration system to run the process smoothly.

Due to recent singnificant changes in driver and security architechture may causes some issues in older devicess.

The current version of documents available are not that much detailed to help smoot integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Longhorn is one of the best options when it comes to selecting persistent storage for Kubernetes. It has the ability to scale independently and easily with snapshots and backups. Again, it is highly available as it provides disaster recovery to the highest extent. Plus, the UI is easy to understand, which is of great help for someone starting out with Kubernetes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Longhorn is not very old and just starting out, it is slow when it comes to comparison with the other PV storage solution for Kubernetes in the market. Though I am hopeful that Longhorn will improve considerably as time goes by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Longhorn block storage speed is slightly slow if we compared it with local disk storage speed. Lognhorn should work on their speed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
