Very good tool if You want simple high availability

I like that it's easy to setup and get running in minutes or hours depending on your hardware. It has an admin console where you can see all status information about your cluster. There are few things which could be improved (e.g. the UI), but nothing really major. We needed something flexible enough for our needs - we wanted HA with automatic failover between clusters. Sheepdog was one of the fastest solutions we found to this problem. With other products, setting up HA requires multiple steps

Pros
  • The simplicity of the UI and the fact that everything is integrated and can be managed from one place
Cons
  • I dislike that the UI is a bit outdated

Scalable and reliable container manager for massive amount

The performance as well as reliability are great - everything has been working like magic so far! Nothing really comes up in my mind right now but I'm sure there will be some soon :) This software was able to perform extremely fast when running large numbers (tens/hundreds)of small containers with little more than 5GB ram each at full capacity- this also makes it very easy to setup your first cluster without needing any special skills or prior knowledge. We were solving our problem regarding…

Pros
  • It is incredibly simple, flexible ,and user friendly.
  • no learning curve involved here whatsoever !!! Great job sheepdogs team ;
Cons
  • There are troubles

Excellent product and even better service

The support team is very helpful in resolving issues with our implementation. They are always willing to offer assistance or point us towards other resources online that could help solve an issue we were having. We have had nothing but great experiences so far! I think it's because they're such passionate people about what they do. Nothing really stands out as anything that would make me dislike them (except maybe their office space). Our business has been using sheepdog since July 2017. Since

Pros
  • Also easy access through web interface no additional software needs needed
Cons
  • Nothing

Great for storing your storage needs!

The ability to store data in multiple locations across many servers, allowing it to be more resilient than other solutions. This makes our infrastructure much easier to manage as we don't have to worry about managing so many different pieces of hardware. There are some downsides that I've found with using this software - mostly relating to the price point. We're looking at moving away from AWS EBS volumes (which work well but aren't cheap) and into something like Sheepdog which will allow us…

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • AZ support for high availability
  • Backups included by default.
  • No need/ability required
Cons
  • I will keep silent
