Dell Storage Resource Manager vs. NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software

The Dell EMC Storage Resource Manager (SRM) is well suited to handle handles filesystem that maybe be encrypted on disk and mounted on demand from an application. There are many storage options, and redeployments are supported. The interference is easy to use even for fewer experienced tech people. The main issue you might have is support if any problems arise.

• 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.
