Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Dell Technologies, NetApp and others in Storage Management."The tapes are mounted automatically. You can read a tape automatically without waiting for someone to insert it."
"The solution is stable."
"With this product, it all becomes automatic: locating the data, backing up the data, restoring the data. We can automate all that with it."
"It has become easy to backup and archive all our system data and financial data. It helps us mainly in managing the backup of our databases, and it is easy to retrieve that data and find it in a secure place."
"package that manages all of your tapes. Create/write/catalog, retention, delete. There are queries and reports, which are needed to know when/where/length keeping, etc., in order to track them or find out current status."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"It gives us the ability to look at our storage and figure out what we are doing with it. Without it, we are sort of blind."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"When we want to interface the CA 1 product with other vendors, IBM or others, it is difficult to interface it with them, because you need some exits, you need to compile some assemblers."
"The product itself is fairly complex so the install is as well."
"The solution's cost needs improvement."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"You can build those out, but initially when you bring up the dashboard, that was one thing they couldn't take away. They couldn't change that. It just looks kind of kludgy. I'd like it to look a lot more clean when I first login."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
