We performed a comparison between NetApp BlueXP, NetApp OnCommand Insight, and SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Dell Technologies, NetApp and others in Storage Management."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."
"NetApp BlueXP makes it easier to deliver products and manage inventory."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all our different systems in one place. That's the most important feature for us."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"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."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"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."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The VMware capabilities can be improved."
"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."
"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 initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
