Kaminario K2 (discontinued) vs. Morpheus

K2 works well in our mixed-use virtual environment. I would not hesitate to place any workload on K2, it has always performed well. We use fiber-channel connectivity as it replaced our large legacy storage array, replacing one rack of spinning disks with 4U of flash.

Morpheus is well suited for those who want to have a management pane of glass that will allow you to see what you are consuming and how you are consuming it. It also ties into many other types of software and the development team seems to be constantly improving the product. That lends it to being a bit complicated. If you want something easy to set up, this isn't your product.

Incentivized

• Great performance

Incentivized

• Copious native 3rd party integrations.

Incentivized

• More dashboard/visualization capabilities

Incentivized

We have always been able to reach the support organization at Morpheus on the rare event we needed them. They have been nothing but helpful.

Incentivized

We performed a bake-off with K2 and one other vendor and they performed identically. K2 pricing was aggressive, performance was great, and it offered the features that we needed at a price that we could afford

Incentivized

We previously were using VRA. VRA, while some of the new versions look interesting is hard for both administration as well as end user consumption.

Incentivized

• Installing K2 reduced runtime of one of our batch processes, freeing up one employee for other tasks.
• Less time managing storage.

Incentivized

• Excellent monitoring tool
