"The most valuable feature is integration.""The solution scales well.""NetApp has its own dedicated operating system, so it will not be affected by any wireless piggybacking or malware. That's the beauty of NetApp's operating system.""Disaster recovery. And I like the security very much. I think they have the needed options for security. Can manage NPS using the same tools and process that we use today.""At the moment, we are extensively using SnapMirror.""As opposed to cloud, we have full control over security, use, who uses it. We own a number of different companies, so we can partition however we want.""It gave us a platform which could clearly arrange all our files and volumes.""Very stable and very scalable."

Cons
"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product.""I would like to see the inclusion of support for cloud-connectivity to providers like AWS.""The monitoring tool is not well developed.""I do not like Hitachi NAS because it's an old-school NAS solution, compared to the other, newer-type solutions such as Isilon from Dell or Qumulo.""Hitachi could be more flexible and have a simpler management interface.""Hitachi NAS Platform is expensive.""Hitachi NAS Platform's pricing could be reduced. It is high compared to other competitors."

"They need a little more technical people in Akola. Most of the NetApp people are in Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi, but there are very few in Akola. I think NetApp has few technicians in Akola because they mostly rely on partners to service this area.""It is not the fastest storage solution.""I would like to have the Active-Active feature. Some competitors already have it. I would like NetApp to add it to stay competitive.""There may actually be so many features that the end-user gets lost in the volume.""There is room for improvement in the support. It has been a problem for our team.""We had to write a number of custom tools or scripts ourselves to use it as a staging area between our on-premises datacenter and our cloud installation.""NetApp Private Storage is still integrated into the ISCSI connectivity and the FC protocol. I would recommend them to migrate to the FCIP because the SAN switches are moving further to an FCIP, and are scaling out of the ISCSI connectivity. Sooner or later, that will be an issue for NetApp Private Storage. An NFCIP should be available to them moving three years down the line.""The solution could improve by having better support experts. For example, they do not have clear instructions on configuration."
