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

"We're using snapshots as well and it's a pretty useful feature. That is one of the main NetApp benefits. Knowing how to use snapshots in the on-prem environment, using snapshots on the cloud solution was natural for us."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"We are definitely in the process of reducing our footprint on our secondary data center and all those snapshots technically reduce tape backup. That's from the protection perspective, but as far as files, it's much easier to use and manage and it's faster, too."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them."

"Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution."

"The cost is low, it is foolproof, and it has redundancy."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."

"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."

"Overall, I would rate Wasabi a ten out of ten."

"Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly."

More Wasabi pros

Cons

"We've just been dealing with general pre-requisite infrastructure configuration challenges. Once those are out of the way, it is easy."

"The encryption and deduplication features still have a lot of room for improvement."

"The solution is not stable when using single nodes. This is a problem. NetApp should work on this solution to make it more stable with HA nodes and resolve this issue."

"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 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."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."

"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."

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

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"The scalability could be improved."

"The solution must allow the extension of the retention period."

"Wasabi could be cheaper."

"Wasabi could be cheaper, however, it is already really cheap, so I cannot say if there is anything specific that would be an improvement."

"The solution’s user reporting could be improved."

"The scalability could improve."

"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."

"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."

More Wasabi cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. There are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees."

"The pricing could be improved. It is a good product, but it is very expensive for me."

"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."

"The pricing of this solution is definitely higher than what the typical Azure Files and AWS solutions charge, but given the features and the stability NetApp has provided, we are okay with it. We are not complaining about the pricing."

"The cost is quite high."

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

"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."

"Some flexibility around the licensing model would help. The product is licensed based on capacity. Basically, the largest capacity license that you can buy is 368 terabytes. At this point, NetApp is addressing some people's concerns around this."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."

"The price is reasonable."

"The tool’s price is very reasonable."

"Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."

"The price of the solution is inexpensive."

"Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."

"Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
