Now that we are moving towards a hybrid cloud infrastructure, Silk is providing a path forward that should minimize changes to our storage environment, and allow the team to manage data through a common interface that they are already familiar with. > > **Cons**: The only con is not really for Silk, but more related to the fact that our technology stack was fairly unique and outdated -- this created challenges generally as we went through a hybrid cloud transformation. > > We were an early adopter of this technology, and have continued to be impressed by the solution. When we first purchased, we were primarily looking for a cost-effective, high-performance SAN for our private cloud. But, Silk continually added capability, and has anticipated our need to move to a hybrid public/private cloud architecture. The new features should help enable a more seamless transition, while keeping our public cloud storage costs in check. ----- ### "Review of Silk Cloud Platform" — 4.0/5 > **Sumit** | *16 June 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about it is that it provide a very easy way to store data efficiently and provides a good level of security to the user data so it cannot be attacked or accessed by the intruders. > > **Cons**: The worst part about it was the feature of data replication. Sometimes, the data replication feature has failed to perform which led to the mix up of data on a large scale. > > The overall performance of the Silk Cloud Platform was very good. Neglecting the cons part, everyone should use it for a minimum of one time. ----- ### "Monitoring" — 4.0/5 > **Roy** | *1 September 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to monitor the Kaminarios, but our auto replies interfere with Silks auto replies > > **Cons**: Constant false positives of the Kaminarios ----- ### "Silk Cloud Data Platform - not just for the industry" — 5.0/5 > **Aaron** | *1 September 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, ease of integration, versatility of the end-user, it does what it is supposed to do - very well, less time spent on spending money for more time in the cloud. > > **Cons**: It does not make coffee or deliver my paper in the morning. ----- ### "Silk Platform really makes our day to day with our SAN so much easier\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jason** | *10 September 2020* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of seeing all of our devices in one, easy dashboard. In the past, I had to login to the GUI on each of our SAN devices which became quite cumbersome. The capacity planning and visibility into our throughput are the items I really like > > **Cons**: It may be a little busy. I believe I can customize the default views, but I have not done that as yet. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/207920/silk-cloud-data-platform) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
