My advice for others looking into using Cloudian HyperStore is to consider it a good product to add to their portfolio, as long as they fully understand the drawbacks of things such as using the Cassandra database.

We have seen a return on investment with money saved and time saved because we backed up in real time and there is no limit, so I think that is the primary benefit.

Cloudian HyperStore's scalability is not as good as I wanted it to be because if I want to add anything new to the current environment, the process is extremely lengthy and takes a lot of time.

I am not certain if their database or another component is experiencing issues, but they sometimes take more than two or three weeks to resolve a case.

The initial cost has not been recouped because of performance issues, leading to a lack of customer trust with this product, as I cannot sell it quickly enough before the new licensing costs hit, resulting in losing money by the end.

Cloudian HyperStore can be improved because it cannot simply be left to the business owner to operate its software.

Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well.

As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial.

It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use. I would like to see it more user-friendly and easy to use.

I suppose the cost could always be lower and they should continue to add the latest Amazon S3 features.
