Cloudian HyperStore vs NetApp ONTAP comparison

"It is very durable and that is particularly important."

"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."

"The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."

"The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."

"The most valuable features are the data deduplication, the inline compression/compaction, and the encryption as well, the security aspect of it."

"It's much easier and faster to deploy our storage with ONTAP than some of the other solutions that we have."

"We are going the direction of automation in the cloud. It has flexibility and supportability around NetApp solutions and products."

"The technical support is great. It's the best I've ever encountered. I can email and have everything resolved at three in the morning within half an hour. I have had some late night calls to their guys techs, and it's been phenomenal."

"We do not face any glitches or downtime."

"If we want to change things in models, such as add, replace, and adjust to another client, it is very easy."

"The scalability is very good. It enables us to use different product lines within the same operating system."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."

"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."

"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."

"Going forward, I want to see a simplified deployment and more straightforward recommendations on what is required for it."

"They could lower prices so my management doesn't complain about cost"

"They should make the storage arrays more easily tied to your accounts."

"I would like to see more integration into the cloud, as we are pushing to do more cloud-based compute. It is just easier to get the storage and everything synced up there and move to the cloud. We want NetApp to keep down the cloud integration path. It still needs some improvement. Overall, there needs to be more cloud integration in all NetApp products."

"If you do the initial setup manually, it is a bit difficult for someone who doesn't know."

"One of the challenges we have is the ability to tag data with ownership for internal billing and chargeback. We have to utilize some third-party tools for that. It would be good if they were integrated with NetApp ONTAP. Everything else is pretty good."

"The GUI of NetApp ONTAP is an area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."

"I would like to see more integration of the features with the CIFS and SMB Protocols. We also want integration with iSCSI."

"Our fees are approximately half a dollar per gigabyte."

"The solution is cheap."

"When you purchase NetApp for the first time they will provide you with the standard license, or a premium license, and even a standard bundle solution license."

"NetApp is streamlined, reducing costs."

"Recently, we have seen ROI."

"Our cost per IOP is three to four dollars, but we have a hybrid solution. Therefore, we have SSD and spinning disk running together."

"There are two consumption methods: pay as you go and subscription. Pay as you go... is a little expensive but worth it."

"While it is going to cost a lot of money, their technologies is worth it."

"The licensing prices are really high."

"This solution helped our organization reduce our overall cost of storage. Because idle data which was residing on high cost tiers, once we sifted the ONTAP, we were able to scale and place it where it should be, then offload the data which was unnecessary to different locations."
