We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All our production clusters are in Cloud Insight. It provides a single pane of glass, giving us visibility into the environment, which allows us to understand if any issues are going on across any of our clusters.""Cloud Secure is definitely the most valuable feature and being able to see file level activity. It gives real-time alerting on possible ransomware attacks and provides file security review. It helps us to see if something abnormal is happening on the system before it's too late.""The solution is easy to deploy.""The solution is 98 percent stable.""It is good for giving an overview of the systems and for tracking long-term trends. It is handy for root cause analysis, e.g. it can eliminate whether storage is the cause of an issue.""One feature we appreciate the most is its ability to take snapshots, which adds an extra layer of security and allows us to protect our data effectively.""NetApp Cloud Insights helps with login monitoring and troubleshooting. Previously, if we had performance concerns or needed to interface with other groups and their products, a task that should require only one or two people turned into a six-person job.""Its ability to quickly inventory our resources, figure out interdependencies across them, and assemble a topology of your environment is brilliant. There is a price associated with it. Whenever you target a NetApp environment, it is included in the price but whenever you want to add different vendors, like VMware and Cisco, the price greatly spikes. Inventorization helps us a lot to visualize the environment."

"I am impressed with the tool's ability to track information in an easy way.""It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything.""Provides everything in one solution.""I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable.""The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore.""ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization.""It is easy to use and simple to learn.""It's easy to set up."

Cons
"Most of the time, I initially connect with entry-level support, and then I need to request a higher-tier support level, which can result in delays.""The support is not very quick.""Ease of reporting is one thing that they're trying to tackle. If you have a specific set of data you want from Cloud Insights, you can ask NetApp to help you build the reports from the ground up. The dashboards are intuitive, but finding the report you want is sometimes a challenge. If you don't have the report already loaded, pulling it in and letting it build its data can be cumbersome.""Their pricing model needs improvement.""There is room for improving the creating and managing or modifying of reports. That is still a difficult task to do and requires knowledge beyond the storage itself. I would love to see reporting improved so that we can create reports by dragging and dropping pieces into a report form and publish a report that way.""The first level of NetApp's technical support could be improved.""The IP-based monitoring could be added in a future release.""When I did need support because I was having problems with the solution, the first or the second line just didn't understand it. They were providing this only on a software as a service basis. So, they were asking all the wrong questions."

More NetApp Cloud Insights Cons →

"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution.""The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving.""The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier.""ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits.""The product needs to add a workflow insight tool.""There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap.""Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization.""The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing model could be improved. We love that you can use it for free for looking at NetApp products. You only need licenses to look at non-NetApp products, but as soon as you do that, you start utilizing licenses that actually would have been free in the public. So, there is a bit of an anomaly in the licensing model."
  • "Be aware of the capacity licensing and understand how that works, because it is based on capacity. Getting an understanding of that is the biggest thing."
  • "The solution's pricing is based on the device you purchase and includes support services."
  • "We are billed based on management units, so we can purchase units based on six months, twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months upfront or pay as you go depending on our requirements."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "The licensing is complex. The calculation depends on what you're ingesting. A terabyte of one product is not a terabyte of another product. Virtual machines don't equate so easily. It's all about the end-use managed units and having an easy place to reference how far those units go."
  • More NetApp Cloud Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
  • "It has different subscription models."
  • "There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
  • "The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
  • "It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
  • "This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
  • "The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
  • "My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
