"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"Has rock solid reliability and is easy to use."

"It offers data compression and people management."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."

"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."

Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"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."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
