Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The solution helps to keep production data The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."

"The initial setup is really straightforward."

"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."

"The strong points are the stability and scalability of the solution, as well as the convenience of it being cloud-based."

"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."

"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pros

"ONTAP's snapshot copies and thin clones in terms of operational recovery are pretty useful in recovering your data from a time in a snapshot. That's pretty useful for when you have an event where a disaster struck and then you need to recover all your data. It's pretty helpful and pretty fast in those terms."

"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."

"The most valuable features are that it's reliable, simple, and performs well."

"CVO gives us the ability to access data as quickly as possible, which is critical because of the mission set we handle. Some things cannot wait. For example, we tried having the data in the cloud itself, but it took too long for us to retrieve it from cold or deep storage. If we have it ONTAP or on-prem, it's so much easier to pull it within minutes."

"The main benefit we get from this product is the ability to deploy it anywhere we want, whether that's on-prem, a remote physical location, or in the cloud. It doesn't matter from an operational perspective where it is. The command line and operating system are the same."

"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."

"The ability for our users to restore data from the Snapshots is very valuable."

"The ability to do a straight SnapMirror from our on-prem to the cloud with no other data transitions is excellent."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

Cons

"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."

"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."

"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."

"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."

"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."

"The product could be improved by incorporating more AI-driven automation for deployment and additional security features. These enhancements would make the solution even more user-friendly and secure."

"The cost of AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as expensive."

"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery cons

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see the Azure NetApp Files have the capability of doing SnapMirrors. Azure NetApp Files is, as we know, is an AFF system and it's not used in any of the Microsoft resources. It's basically NetApp hardware, so the best performance you can achieve, but the only reason we can't use that right now is because of the region that it's available in. The second was the SnapMirror capability that we didn't have that we heavily rely on right now."

"The navigation on some of the configuration parameters is a bit cumbersome, making the learning curve on functions somewhat steep."

"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."

"I would like to see more aggressive management of the aggregate space. On the Cloud Volumes ONTAP that we use for offsite backup copies, most of the data sits in S3. There are also the EBS volumes on the Cloud Volumes ONTAP itself. Sometimes what happens is that the aggregate size just stays the same. If it allocates 8 terabytes initially, it just stays at 8 terabytes for a long time, even though we're only using 20 percent of that 8 terabytes. NetApp could undersize that more aggressively."

"Not a perfect ten because it's not very efficient with upgrades and management."

"I would like to see better integration with Active IQ."

"NetApp CVO needs to have more exposure and mature further before it will have greater acceptance."

"It definitely needs improvement with respect to clustering and with respect to more collaborative integrations with Azure. Right now, we have very limited functionalities with Azure, except for storage. If CVO could be integrated with Azure that would help. When there is any sort of maintenance happening in the cloud, it disrupts the service in Cloud Volumes ONTAP."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."

"They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed."

"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."

"It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."

"We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of this solution is definitely higher than what the typical Azure Files and AWS solutions charge, but given the features and the stability NetApp has provided, we are okay with it. We are not complaining about the pricing."

"We find the pricing to be favorable due to the educational sector we belong to."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"They give us a good price for CVO licenses. It is one of the reasons that we went with the product."

"Our licensing costs are folded into the hardware purchases and I have never differentiated between the two."

"For enterprise customers, it's a very cost effective. But in the SMB segment, yeah, pricing is a little bit challenge for your time."

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"The standard pricing is online. Pricing depends. If you're using the PayGo model, then it's just the normal costs on the Microsoft page. If you're using Bring Your Own License, which is what we're doing, then you get with your sales contact at NetApp and start figuring out what price is the best, in the end, for your company."
