Pros
"The most valuable aspect is that after our site blows up, we can recover the site afterward."

More Lenovo TS Series Pros →

"It has helped us optimize our storage.""We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job.""What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well.""The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc.""The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics.""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.""It's stable and gives good feedback on performance.""Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."

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."

More Lenovo TS Series Cons →

"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.""A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight.""You can build those out, but initially when you bring up the dashboard, that was one thing they couldn't take away. They couldn't change that. It just looks kind of kludgy. I'd like it to look a lot more clean when I first login.""I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume."""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.""OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally.""From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?"""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Compared to the competitors, it's a pretty cheap solution."
  • More Lenovo TS Series Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
  • "The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
  • "We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."
  • "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."
