## Reviews

### "Dramatically increased performance at a lower cost" — 5.0/5

> **Chris** | *18 September 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our application had a voracious appetite for IOPs, and Silk provided a cost-effective solution to satisfy those needs.  Now that  we are moving towards a hybrid cloud infrastructure, Silk is providing a path forward that should minimize changes to our storage environment, and allow the team to manage data through a common interface that they are already familiar with.
> 
> **Cons**: The only con is not really for Silk, but more related to the fact that our technology stack was fairly unique and outdated -- this created challenges generally as we went through a hybrid cloud transformation.
> 
> We were an early adopter of this technology, and have continued to be impressed by the solution.  When we first purchased, we were primarily looking for a cost-effective, high-performance SAN for our private cloud.  But, Silk continually added capability, and has anticipated our need to move to a hybrid public/private cloud architecture.   The new features should help enable a more seamless transition,  while keeping our public cloud storage costs in check.

### "Review of Silk Cloud Platform" — 4.0/5

> **Sumit** | *16 June 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best thing about it is that it provide a very easy way to store data efficiently and provides a good level of security to the user data so it cannot be attacked or accessed by the intruders.
> 
> **Cons**: The worst part about it was the feature of data replication. Sometimes, the data replication feature has failed to perform which led to the mix up of data on a large scale.
> 
> The overall performance of the Silk Cloud Platform was very good. Neglecting the cons part, everyone should use it for a minimum of one time.

### "Monitoring" — 4.0/5

> **Roy** | *1 September 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to monitor the Kaminarios, but our auto replies interfere with Silks auto replies
> 
> **Cons**: Constant false positives of the Kaminarios

### "Silk Cloud Data Platform - not just for the industry" — 5.0/5

> **Aaron** | *1 September 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use, ease of integration, versatility of the end-user, it does what it is supposed to do - very well, less time spent on spending money for more time in the cloud.
> 
> **Cons**: It does not make coffee or deliver my paper in the morning.

### "Silk Platform really makes our day to day with our SAN so much easier\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *10 September 2020* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of seeing all of our devices in one, easy dashboard. In the past, I had to login to the GUI on each of our SAN devices which became quite cumbersome. The capacity planning and visibility into our throughput are the items I really like
> 
> **Cons**: It may be a little busy. I believe I can customize the default views, but I have not done that as yet.
