DataCore Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines full-stack hyperconverged infrastructure software as the market consisting of complete software solutions that include virtualized compute, storage and networking from a single instantiation designed to run on-premises or in a colocation environment. It consists of those vendors that develop and sell hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software comprising the vendor’s own server virtualization, software-defined storage and network management tools. The full-stack software solution may also be integrated with a hardware stack, as a complete offering spanning both software and hardware. Recently, this market has been heavily influenced by the positioning of storage virtualization and private cloud infrastructure looking to revirtualize compute and providing alternatives to incumbent vendors.

Unfortunately we didn't find this solution to be solid. As it's installed on Windows Servers, whose SCSI drivers are not too stable, we had many issues compared to other linux based solutions.

Our experience as an MSP with Datacore and SANSymphony has been extremely positive, so much that we have chosen this solution early on in our company's development. After virtualizing and migrating our machines to SANSymphony, we saw a noticeable improvement in performance and stability. In addition, the platform stands out for its ease of management, while the Datacore support team has always been quick and effective in providing qualified assistance.
