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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The FlexClones make all the management easier for us."

"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."

"One of the most valuable features is its similarity to the physical app, which makes it familiar. It's almost identical to a real NetApp, which means you can run all of the associated NetApp processes and services with it. Otherwise, we would definitely have to deploy some hardware on a site somewhere, which could be a challenge in terms of CapEx."

"The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site."

"With NetApp, you can integrate malware scanning or malware protection. This is something valuable that is not offered in SaaS solutions typically."

"Multiprotocol is the most valuable because Amazon was not able to provide us with access to the same data from Linux and from Windows clients. That was our value proposition for CVO, Cloud Volumes ONTAP."

"Snapshots are one valuable feature within ONTAP, but CVO's appeal is that it acts just like the on-prem solution. It's the same OS, but in the cloud. We can continue to use ONTAP as we did on-premise."

"The stability has been really good."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."

"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."

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

"It's a scalable product."

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

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

"The interface is good."

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

More Oracle Database Backup Service pros

Cons

"Only AWS and Azure public clouds are currently available from China, and I would like to see support for Aliyun (Alibaba Cloud)."

"I would want more visibility and data analytics where we can see anomalies within the shares within the GUI."

"Multipathing for iSCSI LUNs is difficult to deal with from the client-side and I'd love to see a single entry point that can be moved around within the cluster to simplify the client configuration."

"There is room for improvement with the capacity. There's a very hard limit to how many disks you can have and how much space you can have. That is something they should work to fix, because it's limiting. Right now, the limit is about 360 terabytes or 36 disks."

"The only area for improvement would be some guidance in terms of the future products that NetApp is planning on releasing. I would like to see communication around that or advice such as, "Hey, the world is moving towards this particular trend, and NetApp can help you do that." I do get promotional emails from NetApp, but customer-specific advice would be helpful, based on our use cases."

"Their support and development teams can collaborate better to resolve an issue."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see the Azure NetApp Files have the capability of doing SnapMirrors. Azure NetApp Files is, as we know, is an AFF system and it's not used in any of the Microsoft resources. It's basically NetApp hardware, so the best performance you can achieve, but the only reason we can't use that right now is because of the region that it's available in. The second was the SnapMirror capability that we didn't have that we heavily rely on right now."

"The key feature, that we'd like to see in that is the ability to sync between regions within the AWS and Azure regions. We could use the cloud sync service, but we'd really like that native functionality within the cloud volume service."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."

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

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

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

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

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

"The solution needs to add an archive function."

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

More Oracle Database Backup Service cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Cost is a big factor, because a lot of companies can't afford enterprise grade equipment all the time. They skimp where they can. I would recommend that they improve the cost."

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

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the 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."

"I know the licensing is a bit on the high-end. That's when we had to downsize our MetroCluster disks and just migrate to disks that were half used. We migrated into those just to reduce maintenance costs."

"Cloud is cloud. It's still expensive. Any good solution comes with a price tag. That's where we are looking to see how well we can manage our data in the cloud by trying to optimize the costs."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."

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

"The platform is expensive."
