Zadara Reviews

Enterprise-grade services. Knowledgeable customer support. Training and conferences.

I cannot think of anything I dislike about Zadara. I suppose there are items in the software that take time to learn or may not be intuitive. On occasion I see an event I don't understand and have to reach out to support. But overall, I would have to say there is nothing I dislike about the company or its service.

Take advantage of offers to "kick the tires". Because it is "As a Service" you have the ability to test thoroughly prior to production roll-outs.

We use Zadara primarily for enterprise-grade storage. Security, durability, and portability are the primary reasons we use Zadara. The volumes are used for block storage for our transactional database servers and we replicate the data using mirrors and snapshots to AWS and an on premise VPSA at our failover location. In addition to the VPSA storage service, both on premise and in the cloud, we are also exploring the ZCompute cloud computing service both on premise and in the cloud. We have done extensive testing with this service and find it to be comparable to AWS and easy to use. As part of our review we did extensive performance testing using an established framework that has been used against many different cloud providers including AWS, Dimension Data, Softlayer, and CloudSigma. The ZCompute+VPSA service performed as well or better than most of these at a better price point.

Set it and forget it basically, we use it for off site backups

Nothing really it works like it should nothing to dislike

Storing off site backups is what we use it for most. It gives great Peace of mind

It's affordable and easy to setup and use.

I currently don't of any items I dislike.

Less expensive tha AWS an Azure

Ease of scalability in infrastructure design. We're able to quickly react to customer requests and requirements without much overhead.

VPSA sizing could use a little more flexibility or fine-tuning with system resource requirements. A raid 60 system will inherently require lower resource requirements than a raid 10, but the VPSA engine creation does not have a way of correlating or adjusting. Overall this is an incredibly minor and nit-picked downside.

Please give them a fair shake. The support teams are great to work with and very responsive. We've had nothing but positive and pleasant experiences with the company on every front.

The core issue Zadara tackles is block storage flexibility and scalability. Uptime has been flawless, while allowing us to throttle up storage quickly and quietly.

Zadara offers a suite of solutions that are highly compatible with other solutions. Edge computing and storage as a service allow flexible workloads, interfaces provide the capability for power users to customize the system as needed or organizations can rely on the managed service to relieve resource requirements on their team. Zadara's team is available to answer questions, assist with deployment and management of the environment. Very knowledgeable and eager to assist.

No notable disadvantages have been observed. Zadara's team has been quick to answer technical questions and open to recommendations on feature enhancement requests. Their API documentation lacked some accuracy/clarity.

I would recommend working with Zadara and leveraging their solutions, lot's of compatibility, features, and great team to work with.

Petabytes of storage requiring low latency high speed data retrieval. Zadara has made it possible to create an affordable and efficient method of hosting compute near NFS exposed managed storage. This reduces the capital and overhead of purchasing and managing storage hardware internally. Rapid deployment and scalability was achieved along with greater resilience strategies for business continuity and disaster recovery. Ability to scale up or down with virtual private storage array's (VPSA's) allowed our business to adjust performance needs based on demand and workload requirements.

Being able to contact Zadara to have storage increased or decreased is very helpful. having 24/7/365 support is a an upside

Reporting is least helpful. Having to use the API to create reports is a downside.

Using Zadara for our cloud storage allowed us to move out of a data center. Provided the benefit of lower cost to operate.

Wonderful support team with ultra low SLA in response, 100% uptime guarantee and the up/shrink storage on demand with true pay on commit. Other product use the upfront payment, this is the only that works with cloud logic.

GUI is not cool as IBM Storewize... but, who care..

We're a Service Provider, with AAS software and systems. One of the nightmare was about storage, because it's impossible to predict the grow and shrink we need from month to month and Zadara solves this issue wonderfully.

Que es un tipo de software que proporciona servicio de almacenamiento en la nube, el cual esta diseñado para ser utilizado como almacenamiento persistente con grandes volumenes.

Que no se puede optimizar por que ya con la integración de otras aplicaciones, durante su uso muchas veces es complicada.

Deben usarlo si están buscando ya no preocuparse por el almacenamiento de sus archivos.

Que me permite responder rápidamente a las solicitudes de almacenamiento entrantes con un aprovisionamiento justo a tiempo y es muy fácil de usar.

I like how you only pay for the storage you use and how they proactively monitor the system,

For some, it is difficult to budget due to possible cost fluctuations

Like anything else, ask for a trial.

We have been able to provide storage that grows instead of having to pay all at once and have unused storage sitting around doing nothing for long periods of time.

It’s speed in persistence and quick response it’s amazing

It’s to expensive to maintain this dB need to improve

It must have app for large scale applications

Cache problems are solved
