You can go to bed peacefully if you have a NetApp. If you have NetApp within your data center, you get to know about power failure if you are using it. Your NetApp will still come alive. Even if it does not come alive, I can say that it is not like other tools when it comes to dealing with power failure. The tool is affordable, and the technology is top-notch. It is the only technology that has software for what we call inline compression and deduplication. All the products under NetApp are aiming to use AI. I know that you can achieve whatever you want to do with NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
I find it cost-effective. When evaluating it against other storage options like Apache DSP, Pure Storage, and Huawei Barada, the performance seems comparable, and the overall cost is lower compared to other storage options offering similar performance. Overall, I would rate it 10 out of 10 and absolutely recommend it.
I recommend the solution to others and suggest they seek the services of a specialized partner, or else the deployment could fail. Suppose your company doesn't have enough size. In that case, the initial pricing may be very high, especially if you do not have professionals inside your company that could manage the solution. The deployment might fail if you cannot pay for a specialized partner. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
I would say that it is an okay product that is not bad. A few people specifically ask for NetApp products. The performance of the product is good. I don't have any recommendations for people planning to use NetApp products since I don't like their solutions. I rate the overall product an eight to eight and a half out of ten.

We have recently upgraded our system and will not need to update it for more than three years. My advice to others is all-flash systems are better than other systems. We will continue with this system and if we need more capacity or performance we will upgrade the solution. We know this solution's software, hardware devices, and support are very good. I rate NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays a ten out of ten.

I'm working as pre-sales for NetApp. I help the NetApp team to test the POC for the customer. My company is a distributor of NetApp in Indonesia. We might not use the latest version of the solution. We use the AFF Series and the C Series. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're mostly quite satisfied with the solution so far.

When you are dealing with a virtual machine or on-premise, one of the in-demand storage is NetApp. Veeam is also compatible with NetApp, you will not have any concern, it is a total package. I rate NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays a nine out of ten.

I will continue to use this solution. I think that the technology is still the latest one. If there is more development storage technology in the future with other venders then I will consider using another solution. Depending on the business needs, there are variables to consider with the expense. It's still worth purchasing as the support is good and also the performance is very good. Some of the engineers are still considering changing to a cheaper solution but they worry that the support and maintenance will not be as good. I would recommend this solution. From my experience, this is still the best product available. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
For anyone who has critical workloads like Oracle databases or DB2, NetApp All-Flash Arrays will suit their needs, as long as it fits within their budget. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

NetApp All Flash is a system that I recommend for a rapid storage solution. It is good for organizations such as banks and media companies. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd give NetApp EF-Series All Flash a 5. It's a low rating because as I mentioned, they have to improve their software. NetApp is an array that is made on the software. Their problems are on the software and the controlling of the storage where they lack segmentation and federation. Fragmentation, in particular, is a problem that could be improved for big customers since big data is so important for them.
We are using the on-premises deployment model. I would recommend this product for high-speed database applications. I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
I would rate it a nine out of ten. In order to make it a ten, they should make the price cheaper. I would recommend it. It is very stable, fast, and offers good support. It fits our needs. We don't have issues with it. If you need a stable solution, you should choose NetApp. We have two NetApp solutions in my company and we don't have problems with either one of them.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. It has various small flaws like not being very scalable, difficult installation, lacking good encryption and better cloud support. However, we use it for what it is currently designed to do. From one to ten, I would say it earns a seven for the scalability and a seven for the stability. These things hurt the other things it does well.
The more you can make it integrate into one solution, the better it is. It is less of a headache than having to configure three or four different things. One solution and one GUI is just the way to go. I would rate the solution about seven out of ten. It would be closer to ten if it supported integration with other products, not just Cisco.
I will rate this solution a nine out of ten because it has limited storage. Before you take on a project, you must know how much storage you need, but once you focus on the system, it will give you great performance, reliability and ease of use.
The NetApp EF560 all-flash array is an all-SSD storage system for applications that demand extremely high levels of performance and reliability. Requiring just 2U of rack space, the EF560 all-flash array combines extreme IOPS, microsecond response times, and up to 12GBps of bandwidth with leading, enterprise-proven availability features.
