Find out in this report how the two Storage Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to view all our different systems in one place. That's the most important feature for us."
"NetApp BlueXP makes it easier to deliver products and manage inventory."
"The primary benefit is that it simplifies data management. We face a lot of classification issues with our customers. They need to classify data, but they don't know how to do it. We can help them do it using BlueXP Datasense."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."
"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."
"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."
"This gives me better performance numbers and gives me more information about where my loopholes are, where I need to target my customers, where I need to go back and retain storage."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"The tool needs to make its licensing pages more user-friendly."
"Performance could be a little better. In my opinion, it's a bit slow. If you click on something, it takes a while for the data to load."
"The VMware capabilities can be improved."
"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."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"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."
"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."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"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?""
