Qumulo Reviews

After the setup of the system, I spend less than 1 hr a week logging into the multiple arrays and checking them to make sure everything is going well

The worst part of owning the arrays is doing the firmware updates.

The arrays house inspection images for production and security camera footage for more than 500 cameras.

Simplicity, visibility, performance and scalability

not much to dislike with regards to technology could offer better pricing as this is always a constraint for us

File access for 20k staff is now delivered with performance and complete visibility in usage analytics (in real time) and also a reduction (zero) in downtime without the overhead of the previous windows SMB patch management issues.

How easy to use it is. The robust API library.

I think the product could use some more reporting features

Cheap rapidly expandable storage

User friendly GUI and easy upgrade process

S3 protocol is not supportted. I hope will be come at future

It is faster response many workload type and easyly presentation NAS storage req.

We can easily control all data. Easy and practical controllable storage. Authorizations are useful.

Other than being a bit expensive, there is no problem.

Expensive but worth compared to other storage servers.

The replaced discs did not have an external problem. This problem was resolved after the updates.

We use their support on Slack. There is no lag on waiting for emails and the impersonal nature of emails. The right person has the answer or gets it promptly.

There is always that fear that they are small enough to get bought out and we lose the support that we like so much

We had terrible performance problems with our previous storage large due to the configuration we purchased (capacity over performance). Our all flash array is no longer any limitation on our users data usage.

The team at Qumulo is very helpful in any issues we have had. They are proactive and are always monitoring our Storage Stack. They have many times informed us of issues with the stack we haven't even noticed.

Even at those times, they have always excelled and always ensured we are kept in shape.

Nothing I can think of that I dislike about them.

I can assure you that you cannot go wrong with choosing Qumulo. The device, support, and vision that the company has enabled us to look to them only for storage.

They are provided a large data platform for our company which is fast, informative and great to use.

QUMULO WAS THE BEST CHOICE WE COULD MAKE, IT'S PERFECTLY SCALABLE, FAST AND IT'S INCREDIBLE ON ADVANCED GRAPHIC PROJECTS.

I HAVE NOT FOUND DEFECTS UNTIL THIS TIME. THE STORAGE IS PERFECTLY WORKING

I strongly suggest, before the rack installation, to take all the measurements of the device and to take pictures of the appliance, because in case of need to contact the support, they require all this information.

WE NEED A HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND LARGE STORAGE, BECAUSE THE COMPANY THAT USES IT HAS A BIG HANDLING OF LARGE SIZE FILES. AFTER SPENT YEARS OF CONTINUOUS CLEANING OF GRAPHIC PROJECTS, WE FOUND THE SOLUTION WITH QUMULO.

The Qumulo real-time analytics on the cluster are great. It is awesome to be able to see where files are being written and who is writing or reading those files. It really helps with troubleshooting issues. The ease of management is also great.

I wish there were some sort of email system for alerts. Their cloud based management is great but we would like local alerting.

We are trying to reduce storage expansion. The Qumulo analytics have really helped us eliminate dupication.

The support, cannot rave about it enough, they have become an extension of our service desk. They are very helpful and response. The model they use is slack based so you simple chat in slack and are talking direct to the engineers about your issue.

The software is also very simple and well documented, the rest API is fully featured since the web interface is built on top it.

Onboarding was incredibly easy and they had an engineer to help us get started

They are also a heavy agile shop so updates come out every 2 weeks, with the option for a quarterly roll up, they are very active in seeking out end user feedback on features and direction

Early on there was no RBAC support and upgrades had to be planned due to outage of file services. Those have all been fixed, not much I can say I dislike. They are not the most expensive in the market place but also not the cheapest

During implementation we ran into issues with how they implemented SMB 2.1 protocol, so we worked with engineering a lot and had to revert a lot of users to NFS while some users were able to stay on SMB

I would highly recommend them over any other company, the support is what is the best part, one of our concerns going from block level fibre channel to NAS was performance and interoperability with Adobe products. We have not noticed issues and have not missed a beat

We had a very expensive fibre channel SAN which made it very hard to scale and upgrade. We are in a season of agressive growth - 25-35 TB a year so adding storage with Qumulo is easy

Also understanding storage is easy - the metadata they provide helps me understand heavy users in terms of IOPs and storage breakdown and growth

Also as work loads mix across devices having a NAS vs a SAN is helpful for a simple sharing experience, Qumulo also does a good job with SMB and NFS sharing at the same time
