Qumulo Reviews

Qumulo provides real-time analytics and integrates with AWS or Google Cloud. Its data protection algorithm, integration with backup platforms like Veeam and Veritas, and ease of use are highlighted. Users appreciate the ability to update without downtime and the overall performance. File sharing and reliability, rolling updates, and management ease are valued features. Users benefit from special permissions and well-managed operational costs. A secondary cluster and failover options enhance disaster recovery capability.

• "The most valuable features of Qumulo are its rolling updates and all-day availability."
• "The most valuable features of Qumulo are the ease of management and special permissions that are quick to enable. The overall performance of the solution is good."
• "The most valuable feature of Qumulo is the ability to share files and reliability."

Qumulo needs improvements including non-disruptive updates and easier node replacement. Its absence in the Azure marketplace and high cost are drawbacks. Users desire enhanced automation, orchestration, data protection, and cloud API integrations. The system should offer more terminal-level control with UNIX commands. Software upgrades saw progress in reducing downtime but are not yet outage-free. iMac support and certain protocol features need enhancement. Failover implementation and transfer of anti-theft permissions require attention.

• "Some anti-theft permissions do not transfer well to Qumulo."
• "The support for iMac and protocols should be improved, not all features are available."
• "One aspect of Qumulo that I hoped to see improved was its software upgrade process, which did see significant progress during my usage. Initially, upgrading the software resulted in several minutes of system downtime. However, by the time I departed last summer, the downtime had reduced to mere ten seconds. Although I am unsure if Qumulo has yet achieved a completely outage-free upgrade, I simply performed the upgrades early in the morning before the marketing department began its workday, so any downtime was inconsequential."
