Pros and cons

Updates are incredibly easy to deploy. Support through the slack channel is amazing both for how responsive they are as well as how good they are at resolving the occasional issue or question.
We are very happy and the users are in love having everything in one central network share now.
Support is amazing and the best I have ever used in the industry for any hardware or software vendor. The meta data and monitoring is also "baked" into the software.
No alerts mechanism embedded in Qumulo Data Platform.
There are some limitations for SFTP but not a huge deal. The permission can be a little confusing at times but after you get used to it is not an issue.
Not support object(S3) data type. More core software upgrade steps.

Storage with no barriers.

Reviewed a year ago

Zero latency for opening large files.

Pros

One central hub to monitor and update the storage for our entire company. No downtime and no complaints.

Cons

would be great to have a better link between archived/backed up storage with live storage (i.e. stub files or links) - but the Qumulo team keep improving the software with every version.

Happy qumulo customer

Reviewed a year ago

We are very happy and the users are in love having everything in one central network share now

Pros

Support is amazing and the best I have ever used in the industry for any hardware or software vendor. The meta data and monitoring is also "baked" into the software.

Cons

The software is still a little expensive so it can be hard to expand the system without a lot of upper management support.

Qumulo for Video Production Asset Management

It has been a big asset to our team and I look forward to improvements down the road.

Pros

Easy to use and versatile for our video production backup/archival needs. Also allows us to work directly from Qumulo.

Cons

Learning curve and access for people on my team can be a challenge.

Amazingly useful system and software

Reviewed a year ago

We use a Qumulo P series stack to service scratch storage for our research computing environment. It replaced a parallel file system with simple NFS mounts, and yielded a quantum increase in performance for the mixed application environment we support.

Pros

The builtin Analytics make it easy to find hot spots. The capacity can be easily increased with no service disruption. Customer support is outstanding

Cons

The software is amazing, but the all-flash platform, while exceptionally performant, is not inexpensive

Ease of installing a Qumulo cluster

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Very easy to configure and to have a functional array. Very lot of metrics, useful on the management and monitoring on the storage.

Cons

The best feature for me will be to be able to add "cache" disk more easily (without buy new type of node) => to be fully software defined !

It Just works!

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Updates are incredibly easy to deploy. Support through the slack channel is amazing both for how responsive they are as well as how good they are at resolving the occasional issue or question.

Cons

Some of the reporting really depends on on using python scripts. I'd like to see more built in.
