Find out in this report how the two Storage Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to control the storage."
"It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection."
"It's all about ease of use and reliability."
"The partitions function well for backup storage."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."
"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"You can build those out, but initially when you bring up the dashboard, that was one thing they couldn't take away. They couldn't change that. It just looks kind of kludgy. I'd like it to look a lot more clean when I first login."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
