Pros

Updates are incredibly easy to deploy. Support through the slack channel is amazing both for how responsive they are as well as how good they are at resolving the occasional issue or question.

Some of the reporting really depends on on using python scripts. I'd like to see more built in.

Zero latency for opening large files.

Pros

One central hub to monitor and update the storage for our entire company. No downtime and no complaints.
