"It improves our operational efficiency.""It has improved our operational efficiency through time consumption and logistics by 40 to 50 percent. Everything that had to do with our legacy tape solution has been improved and is now more efficient.""Duplication, interface and the manageability is good and simple.""It has enabled us to save money on storage costs. We removed our tape library.""The implementation with NetApp went smoothly. It is a 'setup and forget' type of appliance.""The backup features are valuable. I've heard from our backup and data protection people that our clients are very satisfied with the performance in junction with the backup, which they archive on this type of object storage.""Right now, we have an older StorageGRID. I like that we can grow it.""The ability to get to the StorageGRID from anywhere on my network. The solution is remote. You don't have to be at a physical location."

Cons

It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"The processes around installation and upgrade need improvement.""We want to move towards Azure in the cloud. Right now, the system is all physical.""Beyond the initial setup, this product is a little bit difficult to configure.""The only real issue that we have run into is, when we are cloning, we cannot do a thin provision clone, it has to be a full clone.""The redundancy and reliability are great, but I also see room for improvement there. I would like to see more efficiency in the storage and dedupe/compression solutions.""Improvements need to be made in the support area.""I just recommend improving the marketing campaigns in Pakistan.""It has its quirks here and there, but it is an older NetApp system."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
  • More Huawei FusionStorage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is attractive."
  • "We chose NetApp because of price and performance."
  • "While we have been able to save money on storage costs, it could be better."
  • "The licensing that the S3 service provides them from a FabricPool standpoint is more attractive than the licensing from AWS or Azure."
  • "We save money on storage costs from this solution since it allows us to have a source of revenue from customers consuming the service."
  • "Creating your own data stores, backups, or storage grids, helps eliminate all these costs of downloading all the data back after you downloaded to the cloud."
  • "Buying the solution is expensive, but it saves you money down the line when you factor in the logistics of not having to buy tapes."
  • "NetApp is not known for being the cheapest storage option on the market. Almost all of the other storage options we looked at were less expensive than StorageGRID. The price is one thing to criticize, which is what we hear internally and from customers as well. They find the cost of the terabytes in this class of storage a little bit higher than expected."
