Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's all about ease of use and reliability.""The partitions function well for backup storage.""It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection.""It is easy to control the storage."

More Dell Storage Resource Manager Pros →

"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications.""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.""It has helped us optimize our storage.""Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly.""Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines.""It gives visibility to the VMs.""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.""The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."

Cons
"Technical support is inadequate.""When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage.""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."

"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.""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.""A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight.""Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered.""I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume."""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There are no licensing costs for this product."
  • "The solution is mid-priced."
  • More Dell Storage Resource Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing by terabytes, not the end of the world, and that's okay. Stop if I want this, I have to buy that. Just release it as a single product."
  • "The cost: It is expensive as a solution. You need to be an expert to get anything out of it and we don't have that kind of expertise."
  • "For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
  • "The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
  • "We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."
  • "We just made a major investment back in May of this year, so we'll have it for another four and a half or five years easily. Thus, we have a five year bumper to bumper agreement."
  • "Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Because of the license costs, we selected the software bundle price with the storage boxes, so most of the software costs are bundled. So, there are no defined manager prices.
    Top Answer:It needs to be segregated if you compare the EMC storage with HP and IBM. We have to identify the reliability of the fiber channel ports. If this can be improved, it will be better for the end-user… more »

    Top Answer:Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four.
