    As any other archiving solution, it is very well suited for environments with a large footprint of unstructured data (CIFS / NFS shares for user data) with a large amount of unused/old files and a need to keep those unused files for long term. In our scenario, due to some legal and contractual constraints we need to keep these files for 15 years. Archiving is a good choice to move the unused files to a cheaper storage tier, both on-prem or cloud.

    It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner

    Pros
    Komprise
    • It gives you a good overview on user data: files age, sizes, file types, owners, etc.
    • It is very flexible on the archiving policies.
    • The data scans are really fast without affecting storage's performance.
    • It has a great alternative to STUB files, which they call 'bread crumbs' (symlinks to files).

    • Table filters are simple and easy to use
    • I love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used plugins
    • Super easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSH

    Cons
    Komprise
    • Its licensing plan, which takes into account the amount of data analyzed instead of data transferred.

    • It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.
    • Can be a bit slow.
    • No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.

    It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.

    We have used Veritas Enterprise Vault in the past, and besides its being a well-known player on the data archiving market, their tool is far more complex to implement, to manage and to keep working. Komprise is very robust and also very easy to implement, as most part of the job is done on Komprise side. The management console is delivered through a public URL as a SaaS platform. You only need to deploy a few VMs for scan/archiving/user access, which they call "Observer VMs." Komprise also doesn't uses Stub files, which is a poor implementation adopted by the competitor for file access. We had a lot of issues in the past with stub files. Komprise has implemented 'bread crumbs', which are CIFS symlinks to the files on the Observer. It is a very good implementation and it works really well.

    MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice. phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine editing of existing data is much more cumbersome than it is in Sequel Pro.

    Return on Investment
    Komprise
    • It allowed us to free up some space on our main storage during a time where we didn't have the budget to expand it.
    • It allows us to move unused data to a cheaper storage tier (Azure Blobs).

    • The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleagues
    • It enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clients
    • The workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.
