I recommend this product in cases when we have to Deploy scale-out storage grids in automated environments; it can be done in minutes rather than days. Another exciting point is the quality of service that it allows for establishing different performance tiers without a need for physical tiering. A point against, from my point of view, is connectivity because it only provides a connection by iscsi.

Vultr
Vultr is best suited to deploy classic web applications, web services, and websites. It's well suited for mid-level traffic but has a wonderful option of expanding the disk storage, making it very well suited to run applications and services that need to consume a lot of data but don't need a lot of computing power. It may not be well suited to run applications that rely on a vast number of web services and require a vast number of data centers.

The most important feature is the robustness; it is always online, apart from allowing us to unify our file and database storage.

Vultr
Vultr started out primarily as a VM-only provider, but has since expanded offerings and locations to be a serious alternative for a lot of businesses currently using a large, expensive cloud provider. Vultr may not be for everyone or every workload, but there are many businesses and individuals that are adding way too much complexity and cost to their projects by using large cloud platforms they do not really need. Update to review: Vultr's new Optimized Compute offerings are a game changer. They are designed to accommodate a more diverse or resource-intensive workload
