    Great platform and support team, missing some replication functionalities

    Sep 29, 2025
    We use Ctera platform as our storage for Non strucutured data - archiving reposoritory. This is not our first tier for sharing data to all our users. We use the NAS protocols: CIFS and NFS. The platform behavior is great and is easy to use as everything is done over the web-based portal. For filers, it requires more work for sync tool and HA solutions.
