Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Saves space with deduplication"
"Adaptive balancing is a valuable feature."
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"The support is very good."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"Needs more SAN support."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"The documentation could be improved."
"They should support more VM, which is not currently supported."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"The solution doesn't support older systems, which can be a problem for some organizations who wish to implement it. It became a problem for us due to the fact that some of our systems are older."
"When we have issues with the solution, they tend to be around networking."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
