Enabled us to move from a monolithic approach to a more flexible model

Pros

"The NetApp technology that has delivered the most value to our organization is FabricPool."

Cons

"One of the challenges we face with NetApp is identifying bottlenecks in the systems they integrate with."

Since switching, our clients have reported improved performance and reduced latency

Pros

"I like NetApp AFF's deduplication. "

Cons

"I don't work on the technical side of things, so it's hard for me to highlight areas of improvement, but maybe the price could be a little better. "

Good price to performance ratio, no latency, and simple to use

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity. It is easy to use."

Cons

"I want an interface through ONTAP that look more like what it does for the E-Series with Santricity."

Provides ease of data access and a single pane of glass to manage our multisite storage infrastructure

Pros

"It provides simplicity. Previously, there was not any kind of unified structure to our multisite storage infrastructure. We now have multiple sites where we have been able to install NetApp, and through ONTAP and BlueXP, control all of them from one pane of glass, which has been very powerful for us."

Standardized storage, good speeds, and very good backups

Pros

"Before, we didn't have standardized storage, so adopting the solution across our organization has allowed us the ability to provide data across all our sites and dramatically improve our backup and disaster."

Cons

"We'd like to see them implement more subscription services into the base support model."

Saves money, has high performance, and streamlined internal operations

Pros

"We've been able to save a lot of money with the introduction of the use of the tiering aspect and the flex groups."

Cons

"To get the performance in Azure has been a challenge. We're moving everything to Azure."

Flexible with great support and high-speed multi-protocol storage

Pros

"We have a comprehensive solution that could accommodate anything. We can fly it earlier and get them in the air testing and prototyping much faster than they could have with other solutions. "

Cons

"We have to work with technology that we can deploy ourselves, run where we decide, and not necessarily anywhere, and that can survive for long periods of time disconnected from a cloud. For us, that's probably been one of the bigger cybersecurity challenges: how do we maintain security, maintain updates, patches, profiles, policies, and all that stuff without subscribing to a service from your friendly neighbourhood cloud provider? This product does a better-than-average job of that. "

Easy data storage with room to expand and has good pricing

Pros

"The usability of actually being able to scale it out has been great."

Cons

"I honestly don't have anything of note on how they can improve."
