Easy to use, manage and deploy
There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle. It's just that some data might be lost, and some accounts here and there might be lost. So, the whole operation when it comes to the covering of the tapes is quite a hard one.

Gives an end-to-end view of your environment and has a very good interface for report creation and customization
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. My company doesn't have a cloud environment, so all storage is on-premises. I'm not aware of the integration of NetApp OnCommand Insight with the cloud environment, but the tool fits all the marks in terms of what I require and need. It checks all columns for me, so at the moment, nothing comes to mind in terms of additional features I'd like to see from the tool in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is that after our site blows up, we can recover the site afterward."
"I would say that if you've got a large virtual environment with a NetApp storage - OCI is written by NetApp - it would almost be silly to look elsewhere."
"NetApp gives our clients the best infrastructure with fast and easy administration."
"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."
"For the reporting side, the data warehouse side, if you're good with that, it can get really detailed reports that are good for showing people, at any level of the company."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"OCI is a very strong product, it has so many features and a handful of features that are really good, such as analytics and the reporting."
"It gives us a better view of into what is happening with the environment, like performance issues or predicting problems."
"It has given us a lot more information than what we could have done ourselves, or with other products."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle."
"We're not using it to its full potential, so it is hard to provide feedback here."
"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."
"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."
"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."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"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."
"Our initial experience with OCI wasn't good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the competitors, it's a pretty cheap solution."
"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."
"The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
"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."
"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."
"We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."
"For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
