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.

Reliable rollback features for smooth IT operations and an easy setup

We are using Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 to take backups of shop floor PCs. I use it for clients locally, particularly for critical machines. It is also used globally for server-side backups and includes scheduling features like taking ten backups every Sunday when the factory is closed. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has helped us because it is easy to use."

"One of the most valuable features is its similarity to the physical app, which makes it familiar. It's almost identical to a real NetApp, which means you can run all of the associated NetApp processes and services with it. Otherwise, we would definitely have to deploy some hardware on a site somewhere, which could be a challenge in terms of CapEx."

"This solution has made everything easier to do."

"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."

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

"Another feature which gets a lot of attention in our environment is the File Services Solutions in the cloud, because it's a completely, fully-managed service. We don't have to take care of any updates, upgrades, or configurations."

"The most valuable features are that it's reliable, simple, and performs well."

"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."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."

"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."

"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is the ease of use. You only need to create a folder in your drive and it's as simple as dragging and dropping files to store them."

"Its absolute functionality and intuitiveness are the most valuable features."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."

"I believe the solution is very scalable. We can continuously add mailboxes and sites."

"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."

Cons

"One difficulty is that it has no SAP HANA certification. The asset performance restrictions create challenges with the infrastructure underneath: The disks and stuff like that often have lower latencies than SAP HANA itself has to have."

"I would like to see more information about Cloud Volumes ONTAP using Google Cloud Platform on NetApp's website."

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

"The cost needs improvement."

"When it comes to support provided by NetApp, they have room for improvement. Every time we go through their support, we end up answering the same routine questions."

"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."

"Cloud Volumes ONTAP's interface could use an overhaul. Sometimes you have to dig around in Cloud Manager a little bit to find certain things. The layout could be more intuitive."

"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."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."

"Pricing could be more affordable."

"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."

"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."

"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."

"Veeam is quite expensive."

"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."

"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there are fees for Azure, the VMs themselves and for data transfer."

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

"The pricing could be improved. It is a good product, but it is very expensive for me."

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

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"The cost is quite high."

"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."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license required and a per-user fee for this solution."

"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."

"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."

"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."

"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."

"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."

"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
