Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"Can use both SAN and NAS at the same time."
"I like it. When it is up and running, it does the job."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"The NetApp FAS Series is not as high-performing and is not as fast. Its speed needs improvement, but this could only be done if it's an all-flash solution."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"Interfacing with the cloud environment could be better. I want to be able to move some cloud volume and integrate it seamlessly with my home on-premise storage. Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"You always need a huge amount of hardware to fulfill a given setup. Its deployment can be complex, especially if you go MetroCluster."
"I think this kind of infrastructure is mostly obsolete. To keep up with developments in this space, you need to move all these features to an All-Flash solution."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
