ObjectFirst has done a great job of making the Ootbi extremely simple to setup and performant. The process is very straight forward and well documented. The entire process from rack, stack, config, and deply can be accomplished in under 30 minutes. After that, you live with the comfort of "immutable bliss" moving forward! As an added bonus, everyone that I interacted with at ObjectFirst (From my sales rep to support) were extremely plesant and knowledgeable. They have a great product and they are operating already like the gold standard in their class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Object First? My only chief complaint, which is more of a shot at Veeam than ObjectFirst, is that veeam has a 10 day immutable period configured that is not reflected in the UI. So you could potentially fill up your Ootbi unexpectedly, and then be unable to delete objects to clear up space. My advice for new ObjectFirst users to to slowly migrate your backup jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Object First solving and how is that benefiting you? Object First helps me migrate from my legacy storage (which was not immutable) to fast and modern immutable storage with ease and confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VP Technical Sales Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/10/2024 "Cloud is great, but on-premises immutable storage is the fastest way to recover" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Object First? Object First is looking for long-term customers and we were able to see that from the first interactions with their technical team to size and then assist with the installation in our data center. We were one of their first 10 customers and have been using the Ootbi appliance ever since with regular attention from their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Object First? The cost is higher than other immutable storage appliances Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Object First solving and how is that benefiting you? Immutable object storage is extremely complicated with millions of objects which need to be moved around constantly. Object First wrote new Linux code that interfaces with Veeam better than anything on the market. We are seeing 2 to 3 times the backup and restore speed when using Veeam and the Ootbi appliance.
