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.

A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement

There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It makes sure we have control of the data and that we know what it's being used for. The main thing for us is that we need to know what applications are consuming it and responsible for it. The solution helps us do that."

"ONTAP has been very stable for us, specifically in the cloud environment. It allows us to have high availability as well as standalone systems if that's what we want within our specific workloads. Also, on-premise has been a very stable environment. We have very few outages and when we do, we work with support to get systems back online in a timely manner."

"The fast recovery time objective with the ability to bring the environment back to production in case something happens."

"We're using snapshots as well and it's a pretty useful feature. That is one of the main NetApp benefits. Knowing how to use snapshots in the on-prem environment, using snapshots on the cloud solution was natural for us."

"Lastly, the API and web services are fairly good. That is an important feature too. We write some code to do different things. We have code that runs to make sure that everything is being backed up as we say it is and we try to also detect places where we may have missed a backup."

"NetApp's Integration with AWS has helped us because we had a tough time transferring data when we used an ONTAP competitor as our storage partner. They don't have integration with AWS tools, so we had to figure it out on our own. ONTAP has built-in integration and allows us to replicate a copy to our second data center."

"Its functionality and technical support are adequate to help prevent failure due to errors."

"ONTAP is great for helping you migrate on-premise workflows to cloud environments."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

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

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

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."

"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."

"I am totally satisfied with it."

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

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

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

Cons

"The only issue we had lately was that outside our VPC we could not reach the virtual IP, the floating IP. I heard that they have fixed that..."

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

"I would like to have more management tools. They are difficult to work with, so I would like them to be a bit more user-friendly."

"We have used technical support. As long as they don't call me at four o'clock in the morning to tell me that a drive failed and they are sending me another one, I like it. They have a tendency to do that."

"I rate the scalability a five out of ten."

"It definitely needs improvement with respect to clustering and with respect to more collaborative integrations with Azure. Right now, we have very limited functionalities with Azure, except for storage. If CVO could be integrated with Azure that would help. When there is any sort of maintenance happening in the cloud, it disrupts the service in Cloud Volumes ONTAP."

"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."

"The DR has room for improvement. For example, we now have NetApp in Western Europe and we would like to back up the information to another region. It's impossible. We need to bring up an additional NetApp in that other region and create a Cloud Manager automation to copy the data... I would prefer it to be a more integrated solution like it was in the NetApp solution about a year ago. I would like to see something like AltaVault but in the cloud."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

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

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

"The first time setup for Oracle Cloud Object Storage is a little bit complex, but after implementation, there is no complexity."

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

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

"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."

"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For NetApp it's about $20,000 for a single node and $30,000 for the HA."

"Our licensing costs are folded into the hardware purchases and I have never differentiated between the two."

"Cost is a big factor, because a lot of companies can't afford enterprise grade equipment all the time. They skimp where they can. I would recommend that they improve the cost."

"They allow a special price if you are working closely with them. Since we have a lot of NetApp systems, we got some kind of discount. That's something they do for other customers, not just for us. The price was fair. In addition to the licensing fees, you're paying Amazon for your usage..."

"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."

"We purchased the product directly from NetApp."

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

"I know the licensing is a bit on the high-end. That's when we had to downsize our MetroCluster disks and just migrate to disks that were half used. We migrated into those just to reduce maintenance costs."

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."

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

"We have a yearly subscription for the product."

"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
