Vawlt vs. Zadara Cloud Platform

Vawlt's multi-cloud storage solution helps customers keep data secured (against cyber attacks and Ransomware), with state-of-the-art encryption, implements different backup storage strategies, and also facilitates companies on their journey to the Cloud.

I only used it as a proof of concept for some products. For me, it seemed to be focused on the European market, but it´s a pretty new cloud provider in comparison to other major competitors like Amazon and Azure which are much more developed, so they are still missing some functionality and features.

Vawlt is simple, assures safety and reliability, and is cost-efficient. The solution has a shallow learning curve and low time-to-value deployments. It helps keep customer data secure, with state-of-the-art encryption and ransomware protection, while avoiding vendor lock-in at the same time. Indeed it helps customers to save money by having access to a top-quality cloud service with a predictable and pay-as-you-grow model, naturally scalable to every storage workload and usage.

Zadara is a new cloud provider, so it does not have all functionalities and features as its major competitors like Amazon Cloud and MS Azure. It is up to you to test it, but personally, I still prefer MS Azure as a cloud provider.

Incentivized

• Reduce costs by using different volume types.
• Predictable costs (Pay as you grow & download quota included).
• Single billing account for multiple cloud providers.

• No real impact, as I only used it for some proof of concept.
• New cloud provider still missing some features and functionality.
• An alternative cloud provider hopefully cheaper than its competitors.
