"It has many options for scalability, and it is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."

"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"The biggest issue we face is parts delivery. There's no local warehouse in Myanmar, so if a customer encounters a technical problem like an IMEI issue, they have to wait a long time for replacement parts."
"The adoption of flash by NetApp has also been lagging behind the trendsetters, like TMS, Nimble, and others."
"Replication should ideally be part of the ONTAP base bundle."
"We have some experience with older equipment end-of-life. For example, when warranty support stops or updates stop – it can be frustrating. Not all clients can buy a new filer every year or two, and NetApp ending support a bit quickly can be a concern."
"There is room for improvement in deployment and configuration processes."
"The product should include an audit log feature."
