After the setup of the system, I spend less than 1 hr a week logging into the multiple arrays and checking them to make sure everything is going well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The worst part of owning the arrays is doing the firmware updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using Qumulo for a few years, I still have not found anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having worked with other storage platforms for number of years, Qumulo is a breath of fresh air, it is is simple to deploy and simple to manage. The UI is simple and straightforward to use and the documentation takes you through every thing you need to do, step by step. From receiving the equipment on site, deploying, migrating 200TB of data and bringing the system into production, all of it was completed in days.
The best feature is being able to see where your data is, how big it is and how its grown, it allows me to provide valuable insights to the business.
Their support is via Slack, has been a very good experience with a quick and helpful response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far after 4 months I haven't found anything to dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support, cannot rave about it enough, they have become an extension of our service desk. They are very helpful and response. The model they use is slack based so you simple chat in slack and are talking direct to the engineers about your issue.
The software is also very simple and well documented, the rest API is fully featured since the web interface is built on top it.
Onboarding was incredibly easy and they had an engineer to help us get started
They are also a heavy agile shop so updates come out every 2 weeks, with the option for a quarterly roll up, they are very active in seeking out end user feedback on features and direction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Early on there was no RBAC support and upgrades had to be planned due to outage of file services. Those have all been fixed, not much I can say I dislike. They are not the most expensive in the market place but also not the cheapest
During implementation we ran into issues with how they implemented SMB 2.1 protocol, so we worked with engineering a lot and had to revert a lot of users to NFS while some users were able to stay on SMB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Qumulo has best-in-class support for its products. The web interface is modern and provides excellent analytics for monitor the health and performance of the cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not much to dislike with regards to technology could offer better pricing as this is always a constraint for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No tree walks, easily have storage on prem and in the cloud with replication across the platforms. They have migration solutions available to make it an easy swap from your old system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't seen any down sides yet. If I had to say anything, maybe cost? However, the cost is reasonable for what you get and it was cheaper than Isilon, so we haven't seen any reason to go think about another solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Speed and versatility of the system. Using something this robust has really taken our work to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Errors that offset work and delay our production schedules. Support side has been helpful but can often confuse my team who are not IT peeps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can easily control all data. Easy and practical controllable storage. Authorizations are useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Other than being a bit expensive, there is no problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
