Deduplication and compression give us more possibilities, and unified storage capabilities simplify administration

Pros

"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature. "

Cons

"We have some experience with older equipment end-of-life. For example, when warranty support stops or updates stop – it can be frustrating. Not all clients can buy a new filer every year or two, and NetApp ending support a bit quickly can be a concern."

Easy to provision storage with streamlined internal operations and good value for price

Pros

"It's enabled us to allow admins across the IT organization to more easily manage their own subset of data within our organization."

Cons

"A big problem with physical appliances is that updating them can be a bit burdensome."

Offers fast data transfer between NetApp systems and highly scalable, accommodating clusters with significant storage capacity

Pros

"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery. "

Cons

"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."

Straightforward to set up and it scales well

Pros

"The most valuable feature is SnapMirror."

Cons

"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product. "

Used for VMs with replication a feature, but need upgraded SSDs

Pros

"The replication feature protects us from data loss."

Cons

"The plan is to go with all SSDs and use MDM, rather than sticking with traditional disk drives. The goal is to have all SSDs for better maintenance speed, which is essential for applications that need to work."

You can spin up an instance within a few minutes, reducing the total time it takes to offer service to the customer

Pros

"NetApp's cloud-based PaaS has been a massive help for unstructured data. "

Cons

Gives us the performance, reliability, and uptime that our customers demand

Pros

"It gives us the performance we need and the reliability we need to make sure that our systems have the uptime that our internal customers demand."

Cons

"When we were going through all the MFA hardening and the anti-ransomware setup, I gave some feedback to our executive. The MFA process for getting that set up on the AFF systems was cumbersome compared to some of our other systems. "
