A stable solution that is mostly used by banks and financial institutions
Pros and Cons
  • "Most banks and financial institutions use the solution."
  • "Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."

What is our primary use case?

Our partner firm, an IT firm, was using NetApp SnapCenter for training and educational purposes. They were partnering with an organization to train staff.

What is most valuable?

NetApp SnapCenter is complex, and I know about some training materials for the solution. Most banks and financial institutions use the solution. The partner firms get engineers or train them from scratch to support the financial institutions. Financial institutions prefer on-premise data and have few things in the cloud.

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

I only used NetApp SnapCenter for training purposes for about six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

NetApp SnapCenter is a very stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

NetApp SnapCenter is a scalable solution. Around 30 users use NetApp SnapCenter in our organization. The solution is mainly used for educational purposes every three months because they have new recruits every three to six months.

What about the implementation team?

The partner firm with NetApp SnapCenter has a professional consultant. We don't have many people in the field. When you want to deploy the solution, a consultant will often do it.

A senior manager, an engineer, and a technical admin staff are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance.

It takes about one hour to deploy NetApp SnapCenter.

What other advice do I have?

NetApp SnapCenter is a good solution. I would recommend NetApp SnapCenter to other users. Users need a consultant or a NetApp skilled engineer to use the solution.

Overall, I rate NetApp SnapCenter an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
