Find out in this report how the two Storage Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The partitions function well for backup storage."
"It's all about ease of use and reliability."
"It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection."
"It is easy to control the storage."
"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market."
"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."
