Our customers use the solution to move data from one site to another. They do it every day. There’s a schedule for SnapMirror. It is for data protection.
The solution enables customers to protect data on different sites. It doesn’t stop us from working on our active site while data is moved to the passive site. It’s a big value. The data is compressed. The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network.
The product’s simplicity is top-notch. The ability to maintain the consistency of data is valuable. It helps us avoid copying errors from one site to another.
The tool should also work on third-party solutions.
I have been working with the product for two or three years.
We have not had any stability issues with the product. We have had some network issues, though.
I have escalated issues to the support team about the backlog of data that was not replicated. We were able to find a solution for it.
Positive
The initial setup is straightforward. It is a straightforward licensing. We have 90% of the tools deployed on-premise and some instances on the cloud. It is not difficult to maintain the product.
The pricing can be improved.
I recommend the tool to others. It works only on NetApp’s storage. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.
One customer used it to migrate their data. I checked SnapMirror after a few hours, and it was working properly.
The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements.
The price could be cheaper.
I have experience with this product. It has been a couple of months.
It is working fine for my customer's use cases and servers.
The customer service and support are very good. We get proper resolution on time. They even divert the calls based on the APAC region's time. We get timely support.
The initial setup was not complex. The configuration itself takes about one or two hours. But if there are ports that need to be opened on the customer's end, that can add some time.
I've deployed it on-premises. I've configured it for two customers, and it's been working properly for them.
First, you need to open the required ports. Then, you can do cluster mirroring, and you can replicate at the volume level. The required port should be open for both NetApp storage systems. You need to follow the NetApp recommendations for opening ports. Then, you go through cluster pairing and installation and select the volume you want.
One person can deploy it, but ideally, a team of two people is best for deployment and maintenance.
The main benefit is data replication and transfer, which allows for backup, recording, and restoration. It's especially valuable for developers who need a secondary copy of data in case of emergencies.
The licensing cost is on a yearly basis. It is expensive.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend using this product.
