Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation

The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.

Achieve high availability and security with automated tasks over a decade

While there are some disadvantages in this product, from my experience with basic use cases, daily tasks, integration, scheduling, saving, and encryption, I have not encountered significant areas for improvement. However, the addition of a GUI configuration management and administration console for all administrative tasks would be highly beneficial. It would be preferable to have the ability to perform all console, terminal, and command line operations through a GUI interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ONTAP's snapshot copies and thin clones in terms of operational recovery are pretty useful in recovering your data from a time in a snapshot. That's pretty useful for when you have an event where a disaster struck and then you need to recover all your data. It's pretty helpful and pretty fast in those terms."

"NetApp's Cloud Manager automation capabilities are very good because it's REST-API-driven, so we can completely automate everything. It has a good overview if you want to just have a look into your environment as well."

"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."

"The good thing about NetApp is the features that are available on the cloud are also available on-premises."

"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."

"It's very easy to set up, and within 40 minutes, you can apply storage notes in Azure."

"Another feature which gets a lot of attention in our environment is the File Services Solutions in the cloud, because it's a completely, fully-managed service. We don't have to take care of any updates, upgrades, or configurations."

"The most valuable features are tiering to S3 and being able to turn it on and off, based on a schedule."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."

"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."

"I am satisfied with the licensing policy and pricing of this product."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."

"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."

"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."

"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."

"It's a scalable product."

Cons

"We are getting a warning alert about not being able to connect to Cloud Manager when we log into it. The support has provided links, but this particular issue is not fixed yet."

"The dashboard is a little bit clunky. I like to see it a little bit more on the simplistic side. I would like to be able to create my own widgets and customize what I want to see a little bit more versus what is currently there. That would be helpful so that when I log in, I go straight to my widget or my board without going to multiple places to get to what I need to find or build."

"If they could include clustering together multiple physical Cloud Volumes ONTAP devices as an option, that could be helpful."

"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."

"When it comes to a critical or a read-write-intensive application, it doesn't provide the performance that some applications require, especially for SAP. The SAP HANA database has a write-latency of less than 2 milliseconds and the CVO solution does not fit there. It could be used for other databases, where the requirements are not so demanding, especially when it comes to write-latency."

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

"Scale-up and scale-out could be improved. It would be interesting to have multiple HA pairs on one cluster, for example, or to increase the single instances more, from a performance perspective. It would be good to get more performance out of a single HA pair."

"There is room for improvement in tier one support, especially with potential language barriers and communication challenges."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"We cannot use the product with other brands."

"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."

"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If a customer is only using, say, less than 10 terabytes, I don't think CVO would be a good option. A customer using at least 100 or 200 terabytes should get a reasonable price from NetApp."

"They give us a good price for CVO licenses. It is one of the reasons that we went with the product."

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Our licensing is based on a yearly subscription. That is an additional cost, but because of the storage efficiencies that the NetApp gives, even with the additional cost of the NetApp license, you still end up saving money versus straight Azure native for storage. It's definitely worth it."

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

"Overall, the pricing of NetApp is aggressive and the pricing becomes more aggressive as the amount of data increases. The cost for a given volume of data that you are storing becomes lower. The greater the volume of data, the cheaper the license."

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

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

"The platform is expensive."

"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."

"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
