NetApp ONTAP Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Storage Engineer at Shell3.5I've used NetApp ONTAP on-premises for over ten years; it's reliable, scalable, and integrates well, though costly. It ensures data availability, but support and storage optimization could improve. Overall, I rate it 7 out of 10.
Manager, System at a media company with 10,001+ employees4.5I've used NetApp ONTAP for seven years across our organization, valuing its unified storage, cloning via Snapshots, and strong encryption. It's stable and versatile, though file-level restoration could be improved for better data recovery.
Systems and Network Administrator at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I've used NetApp ONTAP for years in education, finding it stable, scalable, and user-friendly; it simplifies storage management, ensures data protection, and offers valuable insights, though easier integration with legacy systems would make it even better.
Senior Visiting Research Specialist | Cloud Engineer at a non-tech company with 11-50 employees4.0I used NetApp ONTAP to provision storage, finding it stable, scalable, and easy to learn. Its great customer service and documentation stood out, and I preferred it over OneFS. I'd rate it an 8/10.
Software Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees5.0We primarily use ONTAP, which meets all our needs for moving data quickly from ship to shore, and we rate it ten out of ten. Although we considered VAST, NetApp's ease of integration and security fit our requirements better.
Global Service Owner - Storage and Data Protection Services at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees4.5We are a manufacturing company using NetApp ONTAP for seamless cloud integration. It's improved performance and efficiency by around 20%, with 25% cost savings. However, integrating data tagging for billing requires third-party tools. Overall, it meets our needs well.
Sr. Technical Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0We use NetApp ONTAP for reliable, synchronous storage in our HA financial trading system on Linux, eliminating data loss and multi-server access issues. While excellent, its limited Windows compatibility is a concern for future migration.
Senior SAN & NAS Engineer at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I primarily use NetApp for reliable, fast unstructured storage, valuing its CIFS/NFS protocols and software. While aggregates have limitations, FlexGroups offer a workaround. I rate it 9/10, despite average customer service.
Head IT at TO THE NEW Digital4.5NetApp significantly improved our efficiency and security, especially with media files, scaling well within our budget. I chose it for its storage focus. I recommend NetApp develop hybrid cloud solutions for large media files to address a current market gap.
DevOps Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees4.0I use NetApp ONTAP for backups, finding its UI good and performance fast. It excels over Veeam but needs improvement for handling many devices, multi-AZ, and remote connectivity challenges. I recommend it.
