| Sales Manager at MSDSYSTEMS S.R.L. | 5.0 | I've used DataCore Swarm for about 10 years in a large Italian company, valuing its scalability, reliability, and excellent support; it's easy to expand, stable, and has delivered strong ROI despite initially high setup costs. |
| Chief Technical Officer at Integra Systems | 4.5 | We utilize DataCore Swarm for backups, appreciating its high availability and immutability. Transitioning from tape backups improved our efficiency. However, the installation process is complex, particularly when upgrading from CentOS to Rocky. We also considered Huawei's Pacific, but it was expensive. |
| Chief Technical Officer at Integra Systems | 5.0 | In reviewing DataCore Swarm, I find it advantageous for its S3 protocol compatibility and ease of use, particularly for immutable backups and archiving solutions. However, its initial setup requires significant resources, limiting accessibility for smaller clients. |
| Technical Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 5.0 | We use DataCore Swarm to store customer backups across two sites with 1PB clusters. Its scalability, erasure coding, and replication ensure high resilience and data security. However, we seek simpler architecture and improved update processes, possibly via containerization. |
| IT Consultant at Power Source Sdn Bhd | 4.0 | I find Caringo Swarm a flexible, stable, and user-friendly solution, easy to deploy and scale. While its pricing could be better and it needs more flexibility for general files, I recommend it for object storage, rating it an eight. |
