Cons
IBM
  • Improvement in areas where Software Defined Storage (SDS) can be better utilized with the broad capabilities of IBM storage features.
  • Focus should be shifted towards enabling capabilities of cyber resiliency as the other offerings in the market are already equipped with the same.

My experience with SUSE Enterprise Storage has been great. I have not come across any powerful platform that is more reliable in data storage and backup than this software. It has great servers that monitors data across our enterprise. Data transfer from one department to other is well monitored and the network paths are always secure. Licensing and maintenance of the available plans does not incur added cost that can affect operations in our company.
