Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.

Useful for businesses to archive their information

I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"In terms of administration, the portal which provides the dashboard view is an excellent tool for operations. It gives you volume divisions, usage rates, which division is using how much data, and more. The operations portal is fantastic for the support team."

"The initial setup was straightforward. We started with a small pilot and we then moved to production with no downtime at all."

"Its scalability is very good."

"The stability has been really good."

"I like how you can easily pair on-prem with the cloud and the cloud backup feature. I like the whole integration with on-prem and the cloud for SnapMirror relationships."

"It offers ease of use and a comprehensive suite of applications, including features like SnapMirror, SnapVault, and unified snapshot management, all bundled into a single product."

"The main benefit we get from this product is the ability to deploy it anywhere we want, whether that's on-prem, a remote physical location, or in the cloud. It doesn't matter from an operational perspective where it is. The command line and operating system are the same."

"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"The technical support for the solution was very nice."

"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."

Cons

"Only AWS and Azure public clouds are currently available from China, and I would like to see support for Aliyun (Alibaba Cloud)."

"In the next release, I would like to see more options on the dashboard."

"The navigation on some of the configuration parameters is a bit cumbersome, making the learning curve on functions somewhat steep."

"I would like to see better integration with Active IQ."

"We would like to have support for high availability in multi-regions."

"I'm very happy with the solution, the only thing that needs improvement is the web services API. It could be a little bit more straightforward. That's my only issue with it. It can get pretty complex."

"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."

"The solution is not stable when using single nodes. This is a problem. NetApp should work on this solution to make it more stable with HA nodes and resolve this issue."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."

"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. There are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees."

"We purchased the product directly from NetApp."

"The AWS consumer-based pricing model makes it easy for developers to use their credit cards to spin up virtual servers immediately."

"For enterprise customers, it's a very cost effective. But in the SMB segment, yeah, pricing is a little bit challenge for your time."

"Some flexibility around the licensing model would help. The product is licensed based on capacity. Basically, the largest capacity license that you can buy is 368 terabytes. At this point, NetApp is addressing some people's concerns around this."

"The pricing of this solution is definitely higher than what the typical Azure Files and AWS solutions charge, but given the features and the stability NetApp has provided, we are okay with it. We are not complaining about the pricing."

"They have a very good price which keeps our customers happy."

"Once we deploy the pay as you go model, we cannot convert this product as a BYOL model. This is a concern that we have."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."

"We have a yearly subscription for the product."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."

"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
