We performed a comparison between NetApp OnCommand and NetApp OnCommand Insight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Snapshot is a valuable feature."
"In OnCommand Unified Manager, we can monitor the entire cluster as well as configure data protection through Unified Manager."
"One of the main features is the ability to run the block and file storage from the same system."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to warn us whenever something is wrong with the system. It is connected with Active Directory and Exchange. Whenever there is anything wrong with NetApp, the solution will alert you to an event error, post which you can start to troubleshoot."
"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"The solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"There could be better performance in block storage and the GUI could be improved because not every operation is available. You need some operations in the CLI."
"At present, OnCommand Unified Manager has just the monitoring and data protection features. It would be better to add some features for entire cluster management and storage management. Automation should also be included so that instead of separately accessing Unified Manager and OnCommand Workflow Automation, we can work in a single window. It is very much required."
"The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view."
"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."
"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."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"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."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"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?""
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
