We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Backup 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."NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"You can use different protocols at the same time. Monitoring is also very easy in NetApp FAS Series. There is a free tool for monitoring."
"The best feature is its ONTAP product line for Ransomware protection. It also has features for file storage and block storage. The solution is stable. We've had no issues with it. The tool is scalable and meets our requirements. The technical support and the supporting partner are great. The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to maintain the product. The feature set is excellent. I recommend the solution."
"Flexible and reliable storage solution with multiple features such as cloning, replication, and deduplication. Data migration can be done without any performance implications on the production systems."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"The new FAS series is a good fit for some customers. We have good performance and capacity, even though it is full flash."
"The initial setup was so straightforward. It was well-documented."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The product should improve its user experience."
"The product should include an audit log feature."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
