We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and SAP NetWeaver based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Pure Storage, IBM and others in Cloud Software Defined Storage."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 ability to do a straight SnapMirror from our on-prem to the cloud with no other data transitions is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of file storage."
"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."
"SnapMirror helps mirror metadata and data volumes between endpoints in a data fabric."
"The ease of use in terms of how the product works is valuable. We are able to work with it and deploy the storage that we need."
"We use the mirroring to mirror our volumes to our DR location. We also create snapshots for backups. Snapshots will create a specified snapshot to be able to do a DR test without disrupting our standard mirrors. That means we can create a point-in-time snapshot, then use the ability of FlexClones to make a writeable volume to test with, and then blow it away after the DR test."
"The feature which I like the most is that it has the capabilities that the traditional storage system offers. It provides all the functionality. The deduplication and compression work exactly like ONTAP's traditional storage. So people who have experience with that find it very easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver is the integration and it is a complete solution."
"The integration feature is valuable."
"It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."
"The human capital management module is valuable."
"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."
"SAP NetWeaver is doing its job, and it performs well. In the last year, I have not had any problems with it."
"It provides an efficient integration framework with other SAP products."
"I like that I don't need any extra tools to keep the solution up and running."
"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."
"We would like to have support for high availability in multi-regions."
"If they could include clustering together multiple physical Cloud Volumes ONTAP devices as an option, that could be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"I would want more visibility and data analytics where we can see anomalies within the shares within the GUI."
"I would like to see better integration with Active IQ."
"The solution could be better when we're connecting to our S3 side of the house. Right now, it doesn't see it, and I'm not sure why."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."
"SAP NetWeaver PI is not connected to the cloud."
"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it."
"SAP is likely transitioning to S4, so it is unlikely that they will continue to use NetWeaver."
"Technical support response time was slow."
"The initial setup was not very easy."
"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."
