I am impressed with the product's ability to warn us whenever something is wrong with the system. It is connected with Active Directory and Exchange. Whenever there is anything wrong with NetApp, the solution will alert you to an event error, post which you can start to troubleshoot.

The system manager helps us to manage our NetApp server with a user-friendly GUI instead of a CLI, giving us fast, simplified configurations, simplified management, and extensive administrative capabilities that unlock the power of clustered Data ONTAP and clustered scale-out storage.

There could be better performance in block storage and the GUI could be improved because not every operation is available. You need some operations in the CLI.

At present, OnCommand Unified Manager has just the monitoring and data protection features. It would be better to add some features for entire cluster management and storage management. Automation should also be included so that instead of separately accessing Unified Manager and OnCommand Workflow Automation, we can work in a single window. It is very much required.
