Consultant at Tata Consultancy
Positive impacts seen with improved data security and reliable support
I have six months of experience with the product, and as a consultant, the use cases for NetApp AltaVault mainly stand out for me. Regarding the deduplication feature in the product, I am interested in whether clients are using it. There are different integrations available with NetApp AltaVault, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and I want to understand how they impact data security policies in my case.

Creates cost optimization by eliminating required backup agent licenses
One of the current challenges: More than 60TB database, weekly backup taking over two days, and incremental is almost over eight hours. This is extremely resource consuming with a lot of backup duration, etc. Recovery also becomes tough. The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It took an entire silo of complexity and simplified it to a device in the cloud."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Considering the disaster recovery scenarios, I want to assess NetApp AltaVault's ability to minimize the recovery time objective (RTO) and what positive impact I have seen from the product so far."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The interface is great; the GUI is great; it's so easy to work with."
"AltaVault is very economical; you don't need big expertise to manage this product."
"The dashboard is useful for managing data backups."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"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."
"It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It was actually a complete rebuild, and then migrate the database."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"The initial installation is difficult for my clients who have it on both on-premises and on cloud."
"I don't actually use the solution."
"My advice is to stick with ONTAP and ownCloud because NetApp AltaVault is going to die."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a rather expensive program."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"The price is a bit high."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
