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."

"We have saved significantly by using OCI; I don't know the exact amount but it's more than a million."

"It's a stable product."

"Has made our operations simpler."

"NetApp gives our clients the best infrastructure with fast and easy administration."

"The benefit is that it is not just the storage itself."

"It is uniquely valuable because it lets you see everything from the storage to our virtual or VM environment."

"It gives us the ability to look at our storage and figure out what we are doing with it. Without it, we are sort of blind."

"Right now, it's our single pane of glass to monitor our entire infrastructure."

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."

"It is very hard to implement. It takes a long time to learn."

"OnCommand Insight is really limited compared to what Cloud Insights is doing."

"We can't encompass everything into it yet."

"I think there are issues with the Java Stack. Java seems to use a lot more memory than other solutions."

"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."

"I would like them to change the licensing model. It costs too much."

"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs."

"Any increase in loading times, or anything like that, would be useful for us. It's slow, the user interface could be improved a little bit."

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."

"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."

"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."

"Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."

"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."
