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

"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."

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

"The most valuable features are that it's reliable, simple, and performs well."

"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."

"The most valuable features of this solution are SnapShot, FlexClone, and deduplication."

"In terms of administration, the portal which provides the dashboard view is an excellent tool for operations. It gives you volume divisions, usage rates, which division is using how much data, and more. The operations portal is fantastic for the support team."

"This solution has made everything easier to do."

"The most valuable feature is its exceptional performance and storage efficiency."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cons

"We would like to have support for high availability in multi-regions."

"When Azure does their maintenance, they do maintenance on one node at a time. With the two nodes of the CVO, it can automatically fail over from one node to the node that is staying up. And when the first node comes back online, it will fail back to the first node. We have had issues with everything failing back 100 percent correctly."

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

"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..."

"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."

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

"The navigation on some of the configuration parameters is a bit cumbersome, making the learning curve on functions somewhat steep."

"I would like to see them improve the perspective of start and search in the panels. This would allow for better visualization of the contents that are captured in the tool."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"I do not have notes for improvements."

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

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

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"We find the pricing to be favorable due to the educational sector we belong to."

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

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"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."
