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 most valuable feature is the ease of file storage."

"The most valuable features are tiering to S3 and being able to turn it on and off, based on a schedule."

"The ability to see things going back and forth has been quite useful."

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

"It gives a solution for storage one place to go across everything. So, the customer is very familiar with NetApp on-prem. It allows them to gain access to the file piece. It helps them with the training aspect of it, so they don't have to relearn something new. They already know this product. They just have to learn some widgets or what it's like in the cloud to operate and deploy it in different ways."

"With NetApp, you can integrate malware scanning or malware protection. This is something valuable that is not offered in SaaS solutions typically."

"The storage tiering is definitely the most valuable feature... With respect to tiering, the inactive data is pushed to a lower tier where the storage cost is cheap, but the access cost is high."

"We are definitely in the process of reducing our footprint on our secondary data center and all those snapshots technically reduce tape backup. That's from the protection perspective, but as far as files, it's much easier to use and manage and it's faster, too."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."

"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."

"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."

"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."

Cons

"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."

"NetApp's support could improve"

"When it comes to a critical or a read-write-intensive application, it doesn't provide the performance that some applications require, especially for SAP. The SAP HANA database has a write-latency of less than 2 milliseconds and the CVO solution does not fit there. It could be used for other databases, where the requirements are not so demanding, especially when it comes to write-latency."

"The dashboard is a little bit clunky. I like to see it a little bit more on the simplistic side. I would like to be able to create my own widgets and customize what I want to see a little bit more versus what is currently there. That would be helpful so that when I log in, I go straight to my widget or my board without going to multiple places to get to what I need to find or build."

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

"The product is more restricted with underlying cloud."

"I would like NetApp to come up with an easier setup for the solution."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see the Azure NetApp Files have the capability of doing SnapMirrors. Azure NetApp Files is, as we know, is an AFF system and it's not used in any of the Microsoft resources. It's basically NetApp hardware, so the best performance you can achieve, but the only reason we can't use that right now is because of the region that it's available in. The second was the SnapMirror capability that we didn't have that we heavily rely on right now."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."

"I do not have notes for improvements."

"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."

"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard pricing is online. Pricing depends. If you're using the PayGo model, then it's just the normal costs on the Microsoft page. If you're using Bring Your Own License, which is what we're doing, then you get with your sales contact at NetApp and start figuring out what price is the best, in the end, for your company."

"Overall, the pricing of NetApp is aggressive and the pricing becomes more aggressive as the amount of data increases. The cost for a given volume of data that you are storing becomes lower. The greater the volume of data, the cheaper the license."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"The cost is quite high."

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

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

"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."
