Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"Needs to add wizards for newer, inexperienced users."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"Its licensing cost can be improved."
"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"The process of migrating from old hardware to new could improve."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"While their overall Nutanix Bible is good, they are lacking good descriptions for particular scenarios that might be helpful to many users."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure can be improved in terms of the sizing of the solution."
