lot depends on the environment. If it is a single vendor situation then the vendor tools could be sufficient but generally (in my experience) there are mixtures of different technologies (including Sw, switches etc). Then you need something that is fairly simple but reliable (accurate information).
Copy management is one big problem area and quite often overlooked.
Data progression, compression, encryption at rest, expandability, GUI that is intuitive to use. Reporting is a huge benefit not just space but IOPs! All these features are critical when managing your storage environment.
I would look at my storage landscape and think of:
Prevailing business requirements: SLAs, Data retention policies, etc.
Landscape Homogeneity: I would like to have as few vendors as possible to manage staff numbers and skills within my team.
Administrative and financial cost: This is in terms of scope, functionality and ease of use, and not just financial cost. Things like technology (compatibility), security etc. count as well.
Migration cost: If necessary, depending on whether I need to change my CMO.
While all these are critical to me, I would rate cost (as I have described it above) highest.
Ease of use.

Hi,
Automation, security, ease of management are just but a few.
Ease and unity of use
Simplicity and functionality
Expandability and scalability
Are some of the important matters
