NetApp OnCommand Insight vs SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor comparison

"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."

"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."

"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."

"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."

"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."

"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."

"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."

"The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."

"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""

"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."

"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."

"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."

"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""

"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."

"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."

"The solution could always be more easily scalable."

"We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."

"The cost: It is expensive as a solution. You need to be an expert to get anything out of it and we don't have that kind of expertise."

"For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."

"We just made a major investment back in May of this year, so we'll have it for another four and a half or five years easily. Thus, we have a five year bumper to bumper agreement."

"Pricing by terabytes, not the end of the world, and that's okay. Stop if I want this, I have to buy that. Just release it as a single product."

"Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."

"The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
