    - For any enterprise-grade storage, this is the best option. - EDA workloads are very strong with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and NetApp's FlexCache technologies. - Random read workloads such as OLTP are awesome on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. - File Services are the best in class on FSxN. - DR sites from ONTAP on-premises are amazing.

    I work at a company developing tools for performance and cost monitoring, as well as application and infrastructure troubleshooting. So, with the three points named answering the previous question, I can give ISC an 8 out of 10. I have been working with ISC since 2005, and over this time, ISC has maintained a consistent approach to growth and continues to innovate.

    Why didn't I give the full 10 out of 10? My problems are still: since I have been working with the software for more than 20 years, the installation on Windows hosts that are part of domain networks. In these networks, installing is nearly impossible due to group policies. In the opposite: without group policies - especially for Windows updates - you can barely manage the ISC server when on a MS Windows basis. But because the software works seamlessly after a successful installation and support is very responsive and helpful, ISC gets a 9 out of 10.
