"It is easy to control the storage."
"It's all about ease of use and reliability."
"The partitions function well for backup storage."
"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."
"It has helped us optimize our storage."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"This gives me better performance numbers and gives me more information about where my loopholes are, where I need to target my customers, where I need to go back and retain storage."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."
"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
"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."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market."
