Enables us to save data for data projection but could improve its integration with other backup solutions

Pros

"You can quickly deploy new virtual environments. It provides efficient and easy-to-use data protection. If a file goes missing or corruption occurs, you can restore it swiftly using the snap restore feature, allowing you to return to work almost immediately."

Cons

"SnapCenter could improve its integration with other backup solutions, such as Veeam. "

Integrates well with various applications , provides a cloning feature for creating snapshots or clones of volume and a centralized command

Pros

"It helps with strategic planning because it is easy to make a strategy when you have visualized the inflow and outflow of the backup and recovery. "

Cons

"One thing that might be improved is the ease of management. "

A stable solution that is mostly used by banks and financial institutions

Pros

"Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."

Cons

"Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."

Central administration and snapshot management streamline operations but interface usability needs improvement

Pros

"The support from NetApp is very good, and I would rate it as ten points."

Cons

"The interface usability needs improvement. It should be more user-friendly and easier for customers to use."

Resource groups allow us to put servers into buckets, making backup reporting much easier

Pros

"Being able to add everything in as resource groups is a valuable feature... Having all the SQL servers put into specific buckets, based on their year of release - 2008, 2012, 2014 - allows us to get almost immediate backups that are easily seen and reported on."

Cons

"The documentation could be a little bit better so that we could handle more of the troubleshooting ourselves, rather than having to go through support."

Centralized system allows us to manage all systems, agents, and updates remotely

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it's centralized. In the old SnapManager days, we had software for each server. Now, with a centralized system, we're able to manage all systems remotely, and all agents remotely, and update them remotely. That's a huge benefit for us."

Cons

"We have hundreds of servers and systems and hundreds of customers and they're separated in a multi-tenancy way in NetApp SVM. Right now, the problem is that it always scan all SVMs. If I backup Customer A, it scans all SVMs, or tries to scan all SVMs, if there is a backup relationship on the storage. But it doesn't have the permissions, so we run into timeouts or the backup just takes too long. They're fixing that in the upcoming release..."

Free to use with good stability and very good technical support

Pros

"Technical support has been very helpful when we have issues."

Cons

"The UI, the User Interface, needs to be improved. It's not as clean or modern as it could be."
