    Dimensions summary

    You buy this platform on a contract basis, priced per terabyte (TB) of storage. Two deployment options set the structure. CTERA Hosted Data Services gives you a hosted CTERA Portal tenant that the vendor manages, so you avoid provisioning cloud infrastructure. CTERA Private Data Services deploys the CTERA Portal inside your own AWS Virtual Private Cloud, so you keep control over encryption keys and data access. Both scale by how many terabytes you commit. The listed prices reflect starting rates, and your total grows with the TB capacity you select.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    Billing meters the storage capacity you commit in terabytes (TB) of file data managed through the CTERA Portal. Capacity spans your distributed sites, edge caches, and cloud repository as a single global file system. Your committed TB volume sets the charge, not the number of users or sites.
    Both bill per terabyte on contract. CTERA Hosted Data Services runs a CTERA Portal tenant that the vendor provisions and manages, removing your infrastructure setup. CTERA Private Data Services deploys the Portal inside your own AWS Virtual Private Cloud, so you run the underlying compute and keep encryption keys and access policies under your control.
    The per-terabyte contract charge covers the CTERA software. Because Private Data Services deploys inside your own AWS Virtual Private Cloud, you separately run and pay for the underlying AWS compute and object storage that hosts it. Hosted Data Services folds infrastructure into the vendor-managed service instead.

    Reviewed on Oct 15, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    CTERA Intelligent Data Platform serves as our main file share. We have designated filers, which are the servers that users use as a share. We have designed our CTERA Intelligent Data Platform system with failover capability, which means it has a primary path and a secondary path, with the primary path being active. If the primary path is disabled or shut down, the secondary path takes over. This is how our CTERA Intelligent Data Platform infrastructure works, primarily for file share and migration.

    How has it helped my organization?

    CTERA Intelligent Data Platform has made it easier to design and deploy a new file share when a client or user needs an additional drive, access, or share. This ease of deployment has resulted in noticeable improvements, including database, CTERA, and application servers, which are necessary for the file share to work.

    What is most valuable?

    The best feature that CTERA Intelligent Data Platform offers is that it is easy to design or designate a filer to a specific number of users, and you can also enable the DFS, which provides additional security for end users.

    The DFS feature secures the original path, meaning users do not know the actual path and only use the DFS path. For filer assignment, we have a designated filer for production and non-production.

    Regarding permissions and access management, we have a security group for that.

    What needs improvement?

    I cannot think of any improvements for CTERA Intelligent Data Platform; I believe its file shares are among the best, followed by the Cohesity data platform. I have used other network-attached storage, and this is much better compared to Cohesity SmartFiles.

    I would suggest a more user-friendly interface as a needed improvement, even if it is something small or a wish list feature.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using CTERA Intelligent Data Platform for six months.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability of CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is excellent; you can easily deploy a server in VMware and integrate it with CTERA Intelligent Data Platform.

    How are customer service and support?

    Customer support for CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is always available and helpful, and the TAM team is quick as well.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I previously used Cohesity SmartFiles from my last company before switching to CTERA Intelligent Data Platform.

    How was the initial setup?

    The steps involved in migrating existing file shares or network-attached storage data to CTERA Intelligent Data Platform include having security groups that can copy accesses.

    What was our ROI?

    I have seen a return on investment, as CTERA Intelligent Data Platform offers the ability to expand shares.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I rate CTERA Intelligent Data Platform an 8.5 out of 10. I chose 8.5 for my rating because I believe if it had an easier user interface, it would be much better than Cohesity, and that is the only improvement I can think of.

    I advise others looking into using CTERA Intelligent Data Platform to compare what they need. For large infrastructures with massive end-users, I would recommend CTERA Intelligent Data Platform. However, for a medium number of end-users, switching to Cohesity could be considered. For pricing, CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is much less expensive compared to Cohesity, which offers many services but can only accommodate medium end-users since not everything is compatible with Cohesity.

    Ransomware protection has secured our file data and simplifies modern hybrid file management

    Reviewed on Oct 15, 2026
    Review provided by PeerSpot

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is to modernize the traditional NAS, and I need ransomware and antivirus protection built into the platform, along with a caching mediator for users, as I want to ensure our data is safe and free from ransom.

    For example, before using CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, my users put all files and folders into the NAS, but it got infected by ransomware, leading us to reinstall the NAS, and we could not restore the data. After migrating to CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, it not only provides ransomware protection but also antivirus, blocking infected files and users.

    I believe CTERA Intelligent Data Platform is not only the best enterprise file server but also eliminates the need to think about backups or snapshots of the NAS, as everything can be managed within CTERA Intelligent Data Platform after migration.

    How has it helped my organization?

    CTERA Intelligent Data Platform positively impacts my organization by securing data, which in turn reduces potential business disruptions.

    If we were not using CTERA Intelligent Data Platform and data was deleted or infected, it could take many days to recover, affecting operations significantly. After implementing CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, the metrics we noticed indicate a major improvement in our business operations.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features of CTERA Intelligent Data Platform include ransomware protection, deduplication, and the ability to store data in object storage.

    I find deduplication to be the most valuable feature in my day-to-day work because it prevents data duplication, which is crucial since traditional storage often fills up, requiring IT to replace it. With deduplication, only delta copies are stored, making it very efficient.

    What needs improvement?

    I think CTERA Intelligent Data Platform could improve by offering licenses below the minimum of fifty terabytes, which would make it accessible to medium and small companies, not just large enterprises.

    Regarding needed improvements, CTERA Intelligent Data Platform should create more robust migration tools to help users transition from traditional file servers, especially to include permissions in the migration process, reducing the need for third-party tools.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using CTERA Intelligent Data Platform since December 2024.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate CTERA Intelligent Data Platform a nine out of ten.

    I give it a nine because it lacks a perfect ten due to the need for improved migration tools. If those tools were powerful enough, it would easily achieve a score of ten.

    In terms of governance and security, I find CTERA Intelligent Data Platform very secure as the data remains private and is not connected to the public.

    Regarding the accuracy and reliability of output from CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, I find it to be very accurate and reliable as it connects directly to the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform file server.

    I would advise others considering CTERA Intelligent Data Platform that I am very happy using it.
