Pramod-Talekar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The good thing about NetApp is the features that are available on the cloud are also available on-premises."
"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."
"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."
"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."
"It is much easier to control data since we can run queries across all our platforms with just one solution. Not only that, we can also monitor all the platforms with Active IQ, where we can see all the alerts, messages, and space consumption through a single application. This is regardless if the data is on-prem or AWS. It is much more efficient."
"This solution has helped us because it is easy to use."
"There is unified storage, which provides flexibility. It is set up perfectly for performance and provisioning. We are able to monitor everything using a separate application. It provides error and critical warnings that allow us to take immediate action through ONTAP. We are able to manage everything, log a case, and follow up with the support team, who can fix it. That is how it is unified."
"ONTAP's snapshot copies and thin clones in terms of operational recovery are pretty useful in recovering your data from a time in a snapshot. That's pretty useful for when you have an event where a disaster struck and then you need to recover all your data. It's pretty helpful and pretty fast in those terms."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
"It's a scalable product."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
 

Cons

"It would be fantastic if NetApp could offer a solution that's as user-friendly as Google Drive for seamless cloud storage integration."
"How it handles erasure coding. I feel it the improvement should be there. Basically, it should be seamless. You don't want to have an underlying hardware issue or something, then suddenly there's no reads or writes. Luckily, it's at a replication site, so our main production site is still working and writing to it. But, the replication site has stopped right now while we try to bring that node back. Since we implemented in bare-metal, not in appliance, we had to go back to the original vendor. They didn't send it in time, and we had a hardware memory issue. Then, we had a hard disk issue, which brought the node down physically."
"The product is more restricted with underlying cloud."
"The encryption and deduplication features still have a lot of room for improvement."
"I would want more visibility and data analytics where we can see anomalies within the shares within the GUI."
"If they could include clustering together multiple physical Cloud Volumes ONTAP devices as an option, that could be helpful."
"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."
"I would like NetApp to come up with an easier setup for the solution."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."
"The AWS consumer-based pricing model makes it easy for developers to use their credit cards to spin up virtual servers immediately."
"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."
"Cloud is cloud. It's still expensive. Any good solution comes with a price tag. That's where we are looking to see how well we can manage our data in the cloud by trying to optimize the costs."
"We purchased the product directly from NetApp."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are folded into the hardware purchases and I have never differentiated between the two."
"The platform is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
