Enables us to fine-tune storage and capacity on the fly as our needs grow or shrink over time
NetApp delivers High Availability. It's critical to our work. That was the main driver for using NetApp. We have a highly resilient service and if you have a highly resilient service, you are only as resilient as the least resilient part of your infrastructure. That's what we were having trouble with our file system before. It was becoming troublesome, so we needed to find something that was much more highly resilient so that's why we moved to NetApp. The complexity of moving large numbers of files to the cloud depends on what you're trying to do. But for us, it was really simple. I imagine for large enterprise customers it is probably pretty tricky. They're probably on all different technologies inside a large corporation and they may or may not have very large pipes going to them. So if you're in a data center to the cloud then it's going to be easy, but if you have hundreds of branches like if you're a bank and have lots of branch banks, they might have very small pipes out to the internet. It might take forever. In our use case everything's brand new files, so it was pretty trivial. We didn't migrate to the cloud, we were already on the cloud, so it was a nonissue for us. NetApp enables us to share data across VMs. It actually reduced the amount of data storage we need. We were having to have storage attached to each VM. And now we can aggregate that storage across multiple VMs, so that actually gave us a net reduction, which was a good thing. We switched from using block storage to file storage to share data between our VMs. It made it easier, frankly but I worry about the scalability in the future. For the moment it made life easier. We were using block and then we moved back to file with NetApp.

Cost-effectiveness and seamless integration boost long-term data management while file retrieval needs improvement
Wasabi is cost-effective, has no ingress and egress fees, and is reliable. Wasabi helps us in maintaining our enterprise-grade safety requirements because it's highly functional, allowing us to maintain redundancies required for some of our solutions. Wasabi is highly integratable because many systems successfully use it. It is extremely useful in facilitating seamless adoption into our current operational procedures. Many of the solutions that are on Kubernetes use Wasabi integration for their S3, and increasingly, virtually all of them now use Wasabi for their integrations. Wasabi's features of eliminating egress and API requests fees have ensured that we can run our social media sites without charging users for data, which increases the adoption of our platform. Wasabi's simplified pricing model is phenomenal in helping our organization predict and manage cloud costs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better."
"Overall, they have very impressive technologies."
"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero."
"It is a good service for high availability that is very easy to configure."
"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."
"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."
"Overall, I would rate Wasabi a ten out of ten."
"We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them."
"Wasabi's simplified pricing model is phenomenal in helping our organization predict and manage cloud costs."
"I've used Amazon Web Services S3, and Wasabi is considerably less expensive; you save a lot of money for the same capabilities, and it's also easier to set up than Amazon Web Services, so this is my go-to solution for cloud storage."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."
"The cost is low, it is foolproof, and it has redundancy."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."
"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those."
"The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
"The user interface has room for improvement."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."
"The scalability could improve."
"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 must allow the extension of the retention period."
"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The most important improvement we would like to see in Wasabi is the ability to find files and folders easily on the platform, as it is not very easy at all right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't need so much space, and there is no option to pay as we go or use just what we need. Also, the only way to increase performance is by increasing the level of the service."
"The price of the solution is inexpensive."
"Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
"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."
"Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
