IT'S AMAZING
What do you like best about the product?
QUMULO WAS THE BEST CHOICE WE COULD MAKE, IT'S PERFECTLY SCALABLE, FAST AND IT'S INCREDIBLE ON ADVANCED GRAPHIC PROJECTS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I HAVE NOT FOUND DEFECTS UNTIL THIS TIME. THE STORAGE IS PERFECTLY WORKING
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WE NEED A HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND LARGE STORAGE, BECAUSE THE COMPANY THAT USES IT HAS A BIG HANDLING OF LARGE SIZE FILES. AFTER SPENT YEARS OF CONTINUOUS CLEANING OF GRAPHIC PROJECTS, WE FOUND THE SOLUTION WITH QUMULO.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly suggest, before the rack installation, to take all the measurements of the device and to take pictures of the appliance, because in case of need to contact the support, they require all this information.

Qumulo Cluster for our transcoding production
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the API which allows you to do everything, and get all the necessary metrics.
Fetching metadata "instantly" is also a huge plus, as is full access auditing.
Fetching metadata "instantly" is also a huge plus, as is full access auditing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API is great, but you need to have some development skills to code what you want.
It is therefore necessary to have internal DEV resources, but if this is the case, the API remains simple to use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have our entire file transcoding chain on it. The auditing allowed us to find bugs in our own applications.
Great hybrid-capable storage solution - upgrading from Isilon
What do you like best about the product?
No tree walks, easily have storage on prem and in the cloud with replication across the platforms. They have migration solutions available to make it an easy swap from your old system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't seen any down sides yet. If I had to say anything, maybe cost? However, the cost is reasonable for what you get and it was cheaper than Isilon, so we haven't seen any reason to go think about another solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No tree walks, so it's much easier to filter through the data. Being able to create a hybrid storage environment from day 1. They have migration solutions available so it's easy to move from an old/different system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a demo now! It may not be the best fit for everyone, but this was a great solution for a small to mid size business.
Qumulo a scalable high performance file system that is easy to deploy and manage
What do you like best about the product?
Having worked with other storage platforms for number of years, Qumulo is a breath of fresh air, it is is simple to deploy and simple to manage. The UI is simple and straightforward to use and the documentation takes you through every thing you need to do, step by step. From receiving the equipment on site, deploying, migrating 200TB of data and bringing the system into production, all of it was completed in days.
The best feature is being able to see where your data is, how big it is and how its grown, it allows me to provide valuable insights to the business.
Their support is via Slack, has been a very good experience with a quick and helpful response.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far after 4 months I haven't found anything to dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Qumulo to consolidate 4 separate file systems to one and to provide disaster recovery and business continuity by replicating data to a remote Qumulo system.
The benefits were:
Reduced Power consumption and cooling requirements
Reduces space needs (8U vs 36U)
Simplified admin
Greater performance, single tier, so no need to move files around
Overall reduced TCO

Great storage for Media and Entertainment companies
What do you like best about the product?
The support, cannot rave about it enough, they have become an extension of our service desk. They are very helpful and response. The model they use is slack based so you simple chat in slack and are talking direct to the engineers about your issue.
The software is also very simple and well documented, the rest API is fully featured since the web interface is built on top it.
Onboarding was incredibly easy and they had an engineer to help us get started
They are also a heavy agile shop so updates come out every 2 weeks, with the option for a quarterly roll up, they are very active in seeking out end user feedback on features and direction

What do you dislike about the product?
Early on there was no RBAC support and upgrades had to be planned due to outage of file services. Those have all been fixed, not much I can say I dislike. They are not the most expensive in the market place but also not the cheapest
During implementation we ran into issues with how they implemented SMB 2.1 protocol, so we worked with engineering a lot and had to revert a lot of users to NFS while some users were able to stay on SMB

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a very expensive fibre channel SAN which made it very hard to scale and upgrade. We are in a season of agressive growth - 25-35 TB a year so adding storage with Qumulo is easy
Also understanding storage is easy - the metadata they provide helps me understand heavy users in terms of IOPs and storage breakdown and growth
Also as work loads mix across devices having a NAS vs a SAN is helpful for a simple sharing experience, Qumulo also does a good job with SMB and NFS sharing at the same time

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend them over any other company, the support is what is the best part, one of our concerns going from block level fibre channel to NAS was performance and interoperability with Adobe products. We have not noticed issues and have not missed a beat
Good solution for Petabyte scale
What do you like best about the product?
Simplycity and performace. New feature coming in new releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Networking management would be better.
Some improvements in multi-tenancy is required from my opinion.

Qumulo Real-Time Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
The Qumulo real-time analytics on the cluster are great. It is awesome to be able to see where files are being written and who is writing or reading those files. It really helps with troubleshooting issues. The ease of management is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were some sort of email system for alerts. Their cloud based management is great but we would like local alerting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to reduce storage expansion. The Qumulo analytics have really helped us eliminate dupication.
Great product with growing feature set
What do you like best about the product?
We switched from a legacy vendor that charged twice as much per TB as Qumulo. In addition to SMB & NFS access, we have begun to use a wide variety of Qumulo features, including the API and replication.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest complaint was the lack of effective cross-protocol permissions. This has been fixed in the newest versions of Qumulo by XPP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved a multitude of problems using Qumulo - including replicating our very large on-premise data sets for disaster recover scenarios and using the API to accelerate file transfers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Know your use case well and determine if cross-protocol permissions are right for you. Our largest pain points have come from users wanting POSIX permission bits on ACL files, which did not work well until XPP. Now that XPP is out, we need extended testing to ensure that it does not cause additional pain points.
Qumulo replaced some of our NFS storage
What do you like best about the product?
That it is intelligent network storage that does not require a separate NFS server
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be expensive and somewhat complicated to setup and the interface is not as robust as we would like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing us network storage without having to run a separate server such as an NFS server
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Amazing storage to replace an NFS storage system.
