The graphs are most valuable. They have a lot of graphs and reports that you can run to see what's happening in the background to configure OpenStack Swift.
The SwiftStack Controller, which is the web UI, provides out of band management. This has been one of the best features of it. It allows us to be able to do upgrades and look at performance metrics. It is a top feature and reason to choose the product.

The performance is good. It is a secondary storage platform designed for archive and backup, so performance for the right use cases is very good. We have been pretty happy in that regard.

It took my installation time from days to hours, for deployment in our environment, versus deploying OpenStack Swift ourselves, manually.

The most valuable feature is its versatility. We use 1space and we can use it for almost anything: for our cloud service, for backups of VMs.
The scalability is phenomenal. It seems infinite, as long as you put enough storage in place, add enough nodes.
