We performed a comparison between NetApp AltaVault and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The input and output per second performance are satisfactory."
"End-users like that they can rely on the Snapshot technology so they can do their restores themselves."
"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"Fast Snapshots"
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"The storage efficiency provided a maximum savings in our storage utilization."
"I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"I would like to see more web support."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"NetApp needs to put its OS on a microchip rather than on disks."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
