"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"The technical support is fantastic. No one else is like their team. We're happy with them."
"The most valuable feature, primarily, would be speed. That's why we got it. Storage is costly but it's very, very fast. Very efficient, very fast."
"Replication would be one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are high performance and encryption. It also provides aggregate level dedupe."
"The most valuable feature of NetApp AFF for us is its ability to manage multiple IP spaces for our customers in a shared environment."
"Our architecture has historically relied on RDMs, so AFF has enabled us to easily migrate from our old EMC PowerMax to the new NetApp. It's been pretty smooth. We have a lot of SAP servers in our environment, so performance is critical for us."
"The tool has lowered latency."
"Most of our business-critical systems are provisioned from the NetApp AFF system. Compared to others, we have a minimal latency. Configuring the DR for high availability or migrating the volumes from one box to another is pretty easy with NetApp AFF."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"There is no direct storage attachment available. Most configurations require additional switches for data access."
"A while ago, they performed quite slowly."
"The ONTAP S3 implementation is not feature-complete as compared to StorageGRID. We had to move our lakeFS instance from ONTAP S3 based on AFF to StorageGRID."
"I have experienced slow responses several times, if the ticket has only been opened in portal."
"Its technical support could be better."
"They should provide easier integration with multiple systems."
"NetApp AFF could improve SAN storage because it feels as if it was not put together at the beginning, it functions as an afterthought. Additionally, the cloud features could be more mature."
"The stability is good but there is room for improvement with other options."
