Dell Storage Resource Manager vs NetApp OnCommand Insight comparison

"It's all about ease of use and reliability."

"The partitions function well for backup storage."

"It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection."

"It is easy to control the storage."

"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."

"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."

"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."

"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."

"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."

"It gives us the ability to look at our storage and figure out what we are doing with it. Without it, we are sort of blind."

"It gives visibility to the VMs."

"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."

"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."

"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."

"Technical support is inadequate."

"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."

"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."

"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."

"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."

"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""

"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."

"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."

"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."

"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."

"There are no licensing costs for this product."

"The solution is mid-priced."

"Pricing by terabytes, not the end of the world, and that's okay. Stop if I want this, I have to buy that. Just release it as a single product."

"The cost: It is expensive as a solution. You need to be an expert to get anything out of it and we don't have that kind of expertise."

"The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."

"We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."

"For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."

"We just made a major investment back in May of this year, so we'll have it for another four and a half or five years easily. Thus, we have a five year bumper to bumper agreement."

"Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."
