Featured Reviews

SaneeshC - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. engineer at Sify Technologies
Has reduced backup time for large workloads and supports smooth workload migration
Role-based access control and multi-factor authentication are security features available in NetApp SnapCenter. The one-time password comes to our multi-factor authentication tool; we work with Cisco Duo, and that OTP is generated through that tool, which we use to access the device. There are different options through which we can migrate workloads without downtime. The user interface is very easy to handle and not complicated. There are multiple features that make NetApp SnapCenter valuable. In case of any job failure, we get an alert over email. For jobs replicating from site A to site B, we know how long it will take to complete that replication. All that information is available in the console, and there aren't any difficulties or objections that need to be improved.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because of the Role-Based Access Control, customers don't have to call our managed services representatives to do a restore, they can do it themselves; it's faster, easier, and more convenient."
"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data. It also enables really fast recovery."
"The stability seems good."
"The backup process finishes very quickly."
"It allows us to easily take a Snapshot and use it with any backup tools."
"It's a centralized, easy-to-use solution empowering RBAC management, monitoring, notifications, extensive logging, and backup schedules for standalone as well as groups of the same types of environments."
"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data, and it also enables fast recovery."
"Restoring and cloning are easy to do."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
 

Cons

"I'm waiting for SnapCenter for hybrid solutions. Right now, we only have SnapManager for hybrid. I need agents for that. People are looking to install SnapCenter in a SQL environment, but where they're running SQL on Hyper-V and using virtual files. Currently, we don't have support for hybrid."
"I feel a little bit that during the whole process of putting this software into production we were like a beta program. It was full of bugs."
"We would like to see more granular repording and reporting in bigger sets available in SnapCenter."
"Right now, the problem is that it always scans all SVMs; if I back up Customer A, it scans all SVMs, or tries to scan all SVMs, if there is a backup relationship on the storage, but it does not have the permissions, so we run into timeouts or the backup just takes too long."
"I would like to see replication support between systems. Right now, it's kind of limited."
"We have experienced some difficulties with our current support. We are engaging in engineering level support because some of our problems are more technical."
"What I did witness lately are issues with some Microsoft KBs, the updates. But it happened only once, and not on a major platform, it was on a small one."
"The product lags in terms of availability."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could be cheaper."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive."
"It comes free with the amount of equipment we purchase from NetApp. In terms of pricing, zero is my favorite number."
"The licensing is well-designed because it's already included in some packages with NetApp storage. Therefore, for most customers, it's okay as the SnapCenter license is already included in some NetApp bundles."
"We see a financial value with SnapCenter because we don't have to license Commvault, which is pretty expensive."
"Pricing is very good because if you already have NepApp controllers, then it's included."
"We have a site license, so it comes with the product."
"It's free. The license is included with other NetApp products."
"The license for SnapCenter was included with the storage array."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for NetApp SnapCenter?
The product team handles the commercial aspects of pricing.
What needs improvement with NetApp SnapCenter?
We have not started much with the automation capability in NetApp SnapCenter. Regarding the integration aspect, I am not certain about its complexity, as this was built by the OEM NetApp team.
What is your primary use case for NetApp SnapCenter?
The major use case for NetApp SnapCenter is that our customer previously used Commvault. For huge VMs with sizes of five TB or 10 TB, taking the file level backup in Commvault took a long time, oft...
