Flexible, Hassle-Free Storage with Seamless Integration
Reviewed on Nov 21, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Zadara zStorage is its remarkable flexibility and ability to adapt to nearly any storage requirement. It accommodates block, file, and object storage across a variety of protocols, allowing it to integrate smoothly into different environments without necessitating significant changes. Another major advantage is the OpEx, pay-as-you-go model, which eliminates the burden of large upfront investments and enables you to scale capacity only when it’s truly needed. I also value how straightforward it is to manage; the fully managed 24/7 service means I don’t have to deal with the typical hassles of storage maintenance. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge, it consistently provides reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations seeking enterprise-grade storage without unnecessary complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many significant drawbacks, but a few aspects are worth mentioning. Because zStorage is not as widely adopted as the leading cloud storage platforms, certain integrations and tools may feel somewhat limited. Additionally, you might need to invest some time in learning about the various tiers and options to ensure you choose the best setup for your needs. Overall, these downsides are relatively minor, but they are still important to consider.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
zStorage helps solve the problem of managing complex, fragmented storage environments. Instead of juggling separate systems for block, file, and object storage, zStorage brings everything together in one platform, which makes it much easier to manage and scale. This benefits me by reducing the amount of time and effort spent maintaining different systems.
Another problem it solves is unpredictable storage growth and costs. With its pay-as-you-go model, I don’t have to overbuy hardware “just in case.” I can scale capacity up or down whenever I need to, and that flexibility keeps costs under control while still giving me enterprise-class performance.
It also removes a lot of the operational burden. Because it’s fully managed 24/7, I don’t have to worry about handling upgrades, monitoring, or troubleshooting storage infrastructure. That lets me focus on applications and business needs instead of backend maintenance.
Overall, zStorage benefits me by simplifying storage management, keeping costs more predictable, and giving me reliable performance without the complexity of traditional storage systems.

Outstanding Onboarding and Support with an Intuitive Interface
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I was fairly new to storage when I fist started using Zadara. The onboarding was great. Went through all the areas that I would be using. The Zadara interface is easy to use. The customer support is some of the best I've worked with Easy to open a ticket and Zadara is quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
The was an issue with one of our VPSA where were weren't alerted. The VPSA went down and we did not know for hours. After the issue was fixed we met with our Zadara reps and told that the issue and slow response would not happen again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm not if it is solving any problems but we needed a new storage platform during our data center move. Zadara has been a quality platform and performed well for what we need it for.
