Everything is deduplicated and compressed on the fly, so the net storage is much more than you would expect based on physical storage. Integration in vCenter is done with a plugin showing graphics. > > **Cons**: Setting up SSO in the admin interface is not easy to accomplish. Also there is no migration path from NetApp FAS to Solidfire with regards to all functionality (Solidfire does not offer CIFS out of the box). > > We use Solidfire for VDI and later for server storage as well. ----- ### "Good for simple use cases and QoS features are solid" — 3.0/5 > **Proby** | *21 January 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: QoS Features are good for the price you pay for the storage array. The Flex cabling is definitely required as our initial deployment was a huge cable burden that we didn't plan for. Also Element OS is getting better form an enterprise ready standpoint. GUI is intuitive and easy to use and the scale out functionality is solid along with it's redundancy, high-availability, and RAID features. > > **Cons**: When we deployed 2+ years ago, we ran into an issue with VMware that we weren't able to get past, which ultimately made us abandon the product. Also, the QoS features are not adaptive (Like NetApp ONTAP aQoS - adaptive QoS.) > > Great solutions architects (\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is solid\!) Great support - had a very positive experience working with them during our HCI POC. With the advancements Element OS has recently made, I would look at re-POC'ing and testing this product for mission-critical enterprise workloads again. ----- ### "I'm a partner in the Caribbean certified to install" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *18 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the installation and deployment is super easy, configuration add on and hot replacement is super fast, no raid is required and the integration with cloud is fantastic I really like to install this product, make the cloud business more easy to growth and be profitable in a short term. > > **Cons**: the only think that I don't like is that you can't make the whole performance in a single resource, but that's why is only dedicated for cloud platform, is the requirement is performance on a single load this is not your product the target is different > > improve the business efficiency by the integration with VVOLS ----- ### "Not impressed with SolidFire" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 July 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: What we liked most about the software was the user interface and the tight API integration. All of the same functionality available in the GUI is available via CLI and there is a good amount of documentation available. > > **Cons**: We had many problems with this solution -- especially when it comes to meeting the marketed/promised scale numbers. When one node fails there are far reaching impacts which can only be understood by opening/working with support on a support case. Assignment of support engineers is slow. The product is also very expensive and the licensing model is very confusing. > > Deployment of the product was fairly simple but the product could not deliver on the scale that we needed. We had high hopes for the product but we experienced a lot of outages and would not choose this product if we had the chance to do it over again. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/158531/solidfire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
