NetApp allows a lot more ease to conduct business, especially with the customer. In our organization, a lot of solutions may seem simple, but we have to get through the hoops. For government security reasons, it is very hard to find solutions, and NetApp has done a very good job at being IL6 compliant. They have made it easier for us to be compliant with our customers. It allows us to speed up processes that normally would take days. That is the way we currently use it. We are still looking into other ways we could use it, but right now, it allows us to transfer and move data extremely faster than what we were doing before. It is at least 60% to 70% faster.

Valuable Features

"The single management plane in NetApp ONTAP, with BlueXP and Cloud Insights, is valuable. It allows us to see globally all physical and cloud-hosted systems within one management plane, which is a big plus."
"Our organization is short-staffed, and ONTAP's ease of storage management is well-suited to our small team."
"The whole point of our project and the team I lead is that we wanted to be able to move data from a ship back to shore. With ONTAP, we are able to do that extremely fast, especially based on the way we were doing it before."

Room for Improvement
