Amazon FSx vs. NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software

Since I started working with this platform have been performing effectively. It is compatible with our operating systems and the speed of data transfer is very reliable. The server integrates data from all our sources and enhances better planning and effective decision-making. Collaboration of our teams from remote areas is enhanced through updates on the progress of project implementation.

NetApp ONTAP Data Management is a must platform to most businesses around the globe since the tool generates various capabilities for the user to easily and very securely manage all the project data through the cloud services using the platform capabilities. The data analytics are generated in real-time and easy visualization of different data which the tool helps the user import across other platforms.

• Not necessarily a dislike of OnCommand per se but I do dislike that you have to still use different flavors of this tool to get a holistic view of every aspect of your NetApp - System Manager, Performance Manager, Unified Manager etc
• The initial process to connect to a filer probably could do with a little more friendly documentation as the format for filer name (or IP) and whether and SNMP string is required etc is not clear.
• The ability for more complete search capability within the logs (so therefore not having to extract them to work with them) would be an advantage for the timely resolution of faults.

Functionality is very impressive, practical, and useful. GUI could use several improvements.

Support is great. Our account managers and system engineers regularly contact us and check in on us. Provide free training on various topics. Our team is readily available to answer any questions. Support tickets are generated automatically if anything goes wrong such as a disk going bad and a new one is sent out immediately. Very happy with support.

The beauty here is that I basically had to mark 3 different services to get some of the benefits of just a single service. It brings the best of these 3 solutions with a ton of added capabilities around data management and how to consolidate the usage of many silos into a single place which makes it much easier to manage it, especially for the bigger enterprises.
