Their knowledge isn't great.
The support from NetApp is very good, and I would rate it as ten points.
The technical support from NetApp is excellent.
Once we sorted out all our problems with Actifio and our configuration of our database and other components, I would probably rate stability about a seven.
Even though we have used multiple products in the private cloud, with NetApp, we haven't found any glitches.
The most concerning issue is IBM support.
It should be more user-friendly and easier for customers to use.
The product should be free because it is just software to administrate systems purchased from NetApp, which are already expensive.
What really stands out in Actifio is that it can provide us full copies of the database without having full copies of the database.
The product is very stable and easy to install, which saves a significant amount of time during deployment.
Role-based access control and multi-factor authentication are security features available in NetApp SnapCenter.
