Lenovo TS Series vs NetApp OnCommand Insight comparison

"The most valuable aspect is that after our site blows up, we can recover the site afterward."

"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."

"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."

"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."

"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."

"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."

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

"It gives visibility to the VMs."

"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."

"There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle."

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

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

"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."

"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?""

"NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market."

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

"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""

"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."

"Compared to the competitors, it's a pretty cheap solution."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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