Room For Improvement

NetApp SnapCenter needs interface improvements, better integration, enhanced performance, and user-friendly documentation to address management and compatibility issues.

Having more advanced dashboards and executive-level reporting would help with compliance tracking and management visibility.
Cloud Security Architect at a insurance company with 501-1,000 employees
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
President at IT1 Service
It should be more user-friendly and easier for customers to use.

Setup Cost

<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery offers flexible pricing with monthly options, unlimited clients, and negotiation for discounts despite complexity.</p>
NetApp SnapCenter often includes licensing with hardware purchases, offering cost-effective solutions with Standard and Advanced Capacity licenses.
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
Co-Founder | Director | CTO | vCISO | Lead Consultant Infrastructure & Cloud at UBIQUITY Ltd
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
President at IT1 Service
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
The product should be free because it is just software to administrate systems purchased from NetApp, which are already expensive.
IT Technical Architect at AVALIS

Automated backups have increased user trust and ensured reliable multi-region disaster recovery
While I think the integration of Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is pretty seamless, the backup takes slightly more time to complete, which could also be because of the huge data in our databases. The networking flow can definitely improve, which could speed up the scale at which backups are performed. Increased availability into more regions would be beneficial. Currently, Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery is limited to certain regions in the world, but there could be customers who would want to use it in Mumbai or other parts of the globe. That would increase their use case and help cater to more customers across the world.

Has reduced backup time for large workloads and supports smooth workload migration
Role-based access control and multi-factor authentication are security features available in NetApp SnapCenter. The one-time password comes to our multi-factor authentication tool; we work with Cisco Duo, and that OTP is generated through that tool, which we use to access the device. There are different options through which we can migrate workloads without downtime. The user interface is very easy to handle and not complicated. There are multiple features that make NetApp SnapCenter valuable. In case of any job failure, we get an alert over email. For jobs replicating from site A to site B, we know how long it will take to complete that replication. All that information is available in the console, and there aren't any difficulties or objections that need to be improved.
