Gives an end-to-end view of your environment and has a very good interface for report creation and customization

NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market. My company doesn't have a cloud environment, so all storage is on-premises. I'm not aware of the integration of NetApp OnCommand Insight with the cloud environment, but the tool fits all the marks in terms of what I require and need. It checks all columns for me, so at the moment, nothing comes to mind in terms of additional features I'd like to see from the tool in the future.

The alerts, trends and reporting have benefited my organization

Not writing a solution here, the SRM product is a mainframe product that CA's client user interface software, Vantage, can then interact with. They have three flavors for a client interface, desktop (but everything you do is yours alone, nobody else gets anything you build within it), and server…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OCI is a very strong product, it has so many features and a handful of features that are really good, such as analytics and the reporting."

"Has made our operations simpler."

"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."

"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."

"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."

"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."

"It gives visibility to the VMs."

"We get strategic insights and plan ahead."

More NetApp OnCommand Insight pros

"Absolutely get it because it can trend your data, automate your processes, and if you cannot do it yourself, the outstanding support team will listen, work with you, and help you get there."

"As a storage administrator, it has helped me to control my storage capacity and keep it clean in terms of both data and storage."

"The interface offers so much, with it being a true 'Windows' experience!"

Cons

"Any increase in loading times, or anything like that, would be useful for us. It's slow, the user interface could be improved a little bit."

"Fairly straightforward, but after that, it's very complex to use and to learn and understand."

"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."

"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."

"NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself."

"But if they would just continue the platform support for other vendors besides NetApp on the OCI part."

"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months."

"The product is not easy to learn from the materials provided. We still have questions regarding it."

More NetApp OnCommand Insight cons

"Five years ago, yes. As a matter of fact there were too many bugs."

"There are many things that they need to improve. It is a work-in-progress product."

"The install is complicated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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