Saves us a lot of time, and the administration is simpler

NetApp's Integration with AWS has helped us because we had a tough time transferring data when we used an ONTAP competitor as our storage partner. They don't have integration with AWS tools, so we had to figure it out on our own. ONTAP has built-in integration and allows us to replicate a copy to our second data center. Everything is in one channel. It's possible without the technology, but it's more time-consuming. NetApp saves us a lot of time, and the administration is simpler.

A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement

There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ONTAP has been very stable for us, specifically in the cloud environment. It allows us to have high availability as well as standalone systems if that's what we want within our specific workloads. Also, on-premise has been a very stable environment. We have very few outages and when we do, we work with support to get systems back online in a timely manner."

"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."

"One thing I have noticed is that it is very simple to move the data where we need to move it, delete it, or archive it if we need to archive it to StorageGRID."

"The main benefit we get from this product is the ability to deploy it anywhere we want, whether that's on-prem, a remote physical location, or in the cloud. It doesn't matter from an operational perspective where it is. The command line and operating system are the same."

"Its scalability is very good."

"The ability to see things going back and forth has been quite useful."

"In terms of administration, the portal which provides the dashboard view is an excellent tool for operations. It gives you volume divisions, usage rates, which division is using how much data, and more. The operations portal is fantastic for the support team."

"This solution has helped us because it is easy to use."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

"The technical support for the solution was very nice."

Cons

"The solution is not stable when using single nodes. This is a problem. NetApp should work on this solution to make it more stable with HA nodes and resolve this issue."

"In the next release, I would like to see more options on the dashboard."

"It would be fantastic if NetApp could offer a solution that's as user-friendly as Google Drive for seamless cloud storage integration."

"The automated deployment was a bit complex using the public APIs. When we had to deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP on a regular basis using automation, It could be a bit of a challenge."

"The data tiering needs improvement. E.g., moving hard data to faster disks."

"I rate the scalability a five out of ten."

"The integration wizard requires a bit of streamlining. There are small things that misconfigure or repeat the deployment that will create errors, specifically in Azure."

"When it comes to support provided by NetApp, they have room for improvement. Every time we go through their support, we end up answering the same routine questions."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."

"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."

"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."

"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. There are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there are fees for Azure, the VMs themselves and for data transfer."

"The cost is quite high."

"Some flexibility around the licensing model would help. The product is licensed based on capacity. Basically, the largest capacity license that you can buy is 368 terabytes. At this point, NetApp is addressing some people's concerns around this."

"They have a very good price which keeps our customers happy."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"For enterprise customers, it's a very cost effective. But in the SMB segment, yeah, pricing is a little bit challenge for your time."

"We purchased the product directly from NetApp."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."

"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."

"We have a yearly subscription for the product."

"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
