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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like how you can easily pair on-prem with the cloud and the cloud backup feature. I like the whole integration with on-prem and the cloud for SnapMirror relationships."

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

"CVO provides all the functionality any customer would need on cloud; it's a single solution that covers everything."

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

"Replication to the cloud is the most valuable feature. Deduplication and compression are also very important to us. We are in the process of adopting to the cloud. We are going to AWS and we are trying to do a safety technician call out with integration to the cloud. NetApp allows us to move some of the volume to the cloud, at the same time that we continue providing the cloud services that we have on premises."

"The Cloud Manager application that's on the NetApp cloud site is easy to use. You can set up and schedule replications from there, so you don't have to go into the ONTAP system. Another feature we've recently started using is the scheduled power off. We started with one client and have been slowly implementing it with others. We can cut costs by not having the VM run all the time. It's only on when it's doing replication, but it powers off after."

"ONTAP made us less reliant on in-house hardware."

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

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."

"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."

"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."

"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."

Cons

"I think the challenge now is more in terms of keeping an air gap. The notion that it is in the cloud, easy to break, etc. The challenge now is mostly about the air gap and how we can protect that in the cloud."

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

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

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

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

"The only issue we had lately was that outside our VPC we could not reach the virtual IP, the floating IP. I heard that they have fixed that..."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."

"From what I've seen with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, the delivered performance doesn't match the performance that I select; it's about half."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."

"I do not have notes for improvements."

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The cost is quite high."

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

"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was good, but it was a test system, not a real purchase."

"We purchased the product directly from NetApp."

"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."

"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."

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