From a functional standpoint, it's been, pretty much bulletproof. I have never gone to a snapshot and not been able to do what I needed to do.
NetApp Snapshot centralizes data and protects virtual machines efficiently without extra disk space usage. It integrates seamlessly with other vendors, offering advanced backup and customization features. Despite its swift creation of large snapshots and ensuring database consistency, it requires better automation and user-friendly setup. Pricing is less competitive, limiting market capture. Improvements in retention, compression, and notifications are necessary for optimal data management, especially with dynamic data and real-time cloud replication.
