Offers performance control and cloud integration while supporting data management with granular flexibility

The scalability of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is interesting. We have thought about it, but we haven't used it. I think the scalability is something you scale up rather than respond to peak demand. It wouldn't help with outages either; the scaling is manual, and there are no processes we've used to automate that for unexpected scenarios. We like the scalability; it's enough for what we're planning to use, but we haven't used any advanced features. The standard platform is NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which is their cloud service. In fact, that's probably the most experience I have with NetApp. I've experienced it on-premise, but kind of secondhand.

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

"Snapshot copies and thin clones have made our recovery time a lot faster."

"ONTAP is great for helping you migrate on-premise workflows to cloud environments."

"Its scalability is very good."

"I love this solution."

"First and foremost, test the use cases where you need availability and performance as the key drivers for a solution; in those scenarios, NetApp is way ahead compared to what the competitors offer."

"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."

"Cloud Volumes ONTAP is great because of the storage efficiencies that it provides."

"If you have a fair amount of experience with NetApp, you can work on it very easily."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"I like the stability and the scalability of this product."

"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."

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

Cons

"We have had issues with everything failing back 100 percent correctly."

"We have customers that are still using IBM mainframes and that very old SNA architecture from IBM. There are questions about how you interconnect the data on the mainframe side... But I don't know if it's worth it for NetApp to invest in developing products to include mainframes for a few customers."

"How it handles erasure coding. I feel it the improvement should be there. Basically, it should be seamless. You don't want to have an underlying hardware issue or something, then suddenly there's no reads or writes. Luckily, it's at a replication site, so our main production site is still working and writing to it. But, the replication site has stopped right now while we try to bring that node back. Since we implemented in bare-metal, not in appliance, we had to go back to the original vendor. They didn't send it in time, and we had a hardware memory issue. Then, we had a hard disk issue, which brought the node down physically."

"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."

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

"They definitely need to stay more on top of security vulnerabilities. Our security team is constantly finding Java vulnerabilities and SQL vulnerabilities. Our security team always wants the latest security update, and it takes a while for NetApp to stay up to speed with that. That would be my biggest complaint."

"The only area for improvement would be some guidance in terms of the future products that NetApp is planning on releasing."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP needs to have customizable pricing options such as 10 TB increments. They seem to have only two options: 10 TB or 250 TB."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"The initial setup is overly complex, unnecessarily so."

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

"I have been working with Oracle Database Backup Service for five years, and it has already been quite an expensive and extensive experience."

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

"The installation process is easy for me because I have performed this action hundreds of times. However, it is important to note that beginners and even some senior professionals may encounter significant difficulties during installation."

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

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

"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once we deploy the pay as you go model, we cannot convert this product as a BYOL model. This is a concern that we have."

"Make sure you investigate what your requirements are going to cost you using the native cloud solutions versus what NetApp is going to cost you, to make sure you have a business case to go with NetApp."

"The cost is quite high."

"Compared to other storage vendors, NetApp, is not always able to compete with their pricing. Yet, we acknowledge the ease of use ONTAP brings with the AWS integration."

"For NetApp it's about $20,000 for a single node and $30,000 for the HA."

"They allow a special price if you are working closely with them. Since we have a lot of NetApp systems, we got some kind of discount. That's something they do for other customers, not just for us. The price was fair. In addition to the licensing fees, you're paying Amazon for your usage..."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."

"Our licensing costs are folded into the hardware purchases and I have never differentiated between the two."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"The platform is expensive."

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

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

"The platform is expensive."

"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

"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."
