zStorage Reviews & Product Details

Zadara's zStorage platform makes it simple for us to scale our object storage target with minimal daily effort. The storage array is dedicated to our use, and the read and write speeds are outstanding considering the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the management GUI for the Object Storage (NGOS) platform has seen steady improvements, it remains quite limited. Performing tasks such as manual deletions or configuring advanced permissions (IAM) is still very restricted, and the majority of operations must be carried out through the command line.

What I appreciate most about Zadara zStorage is its remarkable flexibility and ability to adapt to nearly any storage requirement. It accommodates block, file, and object storage across a variety of protocols, allowing it to integrate smoothly into different environments without necessitating significant changes. Another major advantage is the OpEx, pay-as-you-go model, which eliminates the burden of large upfront investments and enables you to scale capacity only when it’s truly needed. I also value how straightforward it is to manage; the fully managed 24/7 service means I don’t have to deal with the typical hassles of storage maintenance. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge, it consistently provides reliable performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations seeking enterprise-grade storage without unnecessary complexity.

There are not many significant drawbacks, but a few aspects are worth mentioning. Because zStorage is not as widely adopted as the leading cloud storage platforms, certain integrations and tools may feel somewhat limited. Additionally, you might need to invest some time in learning about the various tiers and options to ensure you choose the best setup for your needs. Overall, these downsides are relatively minor, but they are still important to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was fairly new to storage when I fist started using Zadara. The onboarding was great. Went through all the areas that I would be using. The Zadara interface is easy to use. The customer support is some of the best I've worked with Easy to open a ticket and Zadara is quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The was an issue with one of our VPSA where were weren't alerted. The VPSA went down and we did not know for hours. After the issue was fixed we met with our Zadara reps and told that the issue and slow response would not happen again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The solution from Zadara delivers strong performance and flexibility, but the high pricing is a major drawback that outweighs its benefits for many users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zStorage?

nothing comes to mind at this time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fast, mostly reliable block storage that allows me to connect the same disk to two different machines in two different AWS AZs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On April 17, 2024 Zadara had a three hour outage. This was a significant disruption to our business. While we were happy they restored service in the timeframe they did, we haven't received any follow up communication on the root cause, so we don't know if we can trust them going forward.

All calls to their support line are auto-forwarding to a voicemail box, so it appears their support is woefully understaffed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enterprise-grade services. Knowledgeable customer support. Training and conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot think of anything I dislike about Zadara. I suppose there are items in the software that take time to learn or may not be intuitive. On occasion I see an event I don't understand and have to reach out to support. But overall, I would have to say there is nothing I dislike about the company or its service.

Nothing really it works like it should nothing to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that we can use one storage system for NAS or iscsi connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that the NAS features are not as robust as our other NAS and the system is not in the cloud totally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
