- Fast releases, they release new features every 2 weeks and actively seek out improvement ideas from end-users.
- NFS and SMB co-existent support through mapping permissions allows mixed end users to connect through there native protocol.
Cons
- Admin users are not able to be tied to SSO or LDAP accounts.
- At the start there was no RBAC but this has since been addressed.
- While there is incredible analytics, there is no native way to get historical trends by volume or user.
Return on Investment
- Reduced cost in support and upgrade times compared to old fiber San.
- Allows the Service Desk to focus on other things since permissions and access are simplified.
