“Great platform and support team, missing some replication functionalities”

4.0
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.

CTERA Enterprise File Services Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

The migration tool for shares works very well. The support team is great too. The implementation team did a great job.

Like

Service is very good in Ctera . Ctera - can be reached anytime for any major or normal issues that occur in production issues. The issues will be sorted out as expected. The Ctera portal server and Edge filer appliances are very good to use for faster file syncing across globally .

Like

Stability. Advanced technology. Efficient support team.

Dislike

The filers are the brain for sharing resource to users, it's important to get functionalities to replicate configuration for shares for CIFS and NFS because this is a manual process that takes a lot of time.

Dislike

Single dashboard is required for monitoring.

Dislike

I wish the support for the hardware devices (HCxxx) continue. This would be the true use-case for the customers who prefer to install the service in a site where virtual environment doesn't exist.
