Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"I am impressed with the product's ability to warn us whenever something is wrong with the system. It is connected with Active Directory and Exchange. Whenever there is anything wrong with NetApp, the solution will alert you to an event error, post which you can start to troubleshoot."
"Snapshot is a valuable feature."
"One of the main features is the ability to run the block and file storage from the same system."

Room for Improvement

"The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view."
"The solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"There could be better performance in block storage and the GUI could be improved because not every operation is available. You need some operations in the CLI."

Pricing

"The tool is cheaper than EMC but more expensive than HP and Pure Storage. I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"When we compare with other similar kinds of products from Dell EMC and HP, the price of NetApp OnCommand is reasonable."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
