Review on SwiftStack Object Storage System by Max Rosengren

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not always stable, complicated tool

I like that we only need one system administrator rather than multiple people who are responsible for managing different cloud platforms or applications (which can be quite difficult if there is no single unified platform). It's not easy at all as well. We use it with our own application which has an API but still needs some work before using in production environment - too many quirks left unresolved by support team so far. They don't have any clear documentation either; they seem more focused around marketing their product instead of helping customers get into market quickly. You should know what kind of performance expectations do you require from this solution when evaluating its pros & cons. Our main goal was having fast access to information stored both inside and outside corporate network without security issues while protecting confidentiality of personal/company info.

Pros
  • I liked the fact that SwiftStack was one of the first object storage solutions with support for the JSON API and the ability to add additional application level security
Cons
  • The support team's response time can be long, slow and they do not provide a lot of useful information to customers
