Qumulo Core vs. Vultr

Qumulo is great for media and entertainment companies, that need simple and easy management of a NAS. The product can also scale and be sized to larger shops too. The support that comes with it also can act as an extension of internal IT. Their support is always watching the box when it phones home with hardware errors or if it would go offline. Qumulo is not initially set up well-running virtual workloads, while Vmware supports NFS, some settings need to be adjusted on Qumulo to allow for upgrades to happen while virtual machines are running

Vultr is well suited for South African based organisations as they have a presence here. It makes dev servers for WordPress more feasible. Having to wait on roundtrips from EU or US slow things down.

Ease of setting up new servers, with clear information on what you are getting for what you pay, makes it so easy to spin up just what you need. With a large range of specifications it means you can find that sweet spot of cost vs. performance.

• Support, they offer a slack based support which is fast and incredibly helpful.
• Fast releases, they release new features every 2 weeks and actively seek out improvement ideas from end-users.
• NFS and SMB co-existent support through mapping permissions allows mixed end users to connect through there native protocol.

• The uptime is perfect . If there are any downtimes it is well informed and its in non - production hours to ensure that the systems are not hit
• Accessibility and the dashboard is amazing where you have full control over the VPS system.
• The flexibility of OS on which to create your VPS is also amazing .

• Admin users are not able to be tied to SSO or LDAP accounts.
• At the start there was no RBAC but this has since been addressed.
• While there is incredible analytics, there is no native way to get historical trends by volume or user.

• the ability of increasing a specific configuration without the need of upgrading the whole plan, for example i might need to add more memory but i'm satisfied with my current processors and hard disk capacity (or vise versa)
• Solving the problems of taking an image to the server if the server capacity (hard disk) is bigger than 1TB (which i'm currently facing a big problem because of that)

We’ve been extremely satisfied with the service for many years. After trying other providers, we’ve found nothing that matches the reliability and performance—so we’re not likely to switch anytime soon.

easy to use and configure. great bang for the buck. I need an affordable solution to host in the cloud data from systems installed at our client's site with the ability to drill down and change the configuration remotely. Vultr enabled us to do that in an efficient and affordable way.

Their Slack-based support is like nothing I have experienced. They are fast, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile, even when an issue is not clearly their's to solve. They are committed to your success. The engineers on the Slack channel are oftentimes the engineers that programmed the very same feature you are asking questions about or having issues with.

Because of the 24 hour turnaround timing with servers I need immediate reply

Nothing in particular to share that I did not already discuss

Qumulo was not the least expensive but we were blown away by support offered and pre-sales support to ensure questions were answered. Our main challenges were mixed end-user platforms and a diverse set of use cases on those end-user computers. Having the dual access to volumes, over NFS and SMB, helps us greatly in this area.

Vultr has better support and competitive pricing. The network is solid and globally deployed. IP reputation is clean, and security is tight. Ease of use and documentation is really good. User experience has been the best I ever experienced. Low stress, reliable hosting I would recommend to anyone. It helped me easily scale and expand my business.
