Use Cases and Deployment Scope

NetApp Cloud Insights is being used by a few important quarters of our organization that includes IT, Telecom Engineering, RF Optimization, and PMO departments. It has served its purpose well to effectively manage and optimize our organization's cloud resources and workflows. The alerts generated by Cloud Insights keep the systems checked and helps our Engineers to act proactively against any security threats and anomalous user behaviors. We have used it mainly to reduce IT resource loss and optimizing the overall network capabilities of the organization.

Pros

  • Identification of resource wastes for better optimization of IT operations.
  • Easy portal view and anyone can easily understand application performance and issues without any special technical knowledge.
  • Real-time alerts of issues and resource waste.
  • Customizable integrations as per need of the organization.

Cons

  • Need to add more cloud resources for optimization, as many are still not compatible
  • Data retention time is limited.
  • Premium subscription is costly.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights is meant to make your resources well optimized and cloud data integrated. It has great capabilities to monitor broad-based data and workflows generated on the entire network of a big organization and keep the resources intact for smooth operations. Very well suited for the organizations that highly rely on the IT services in the cloud and have to spend a major chunk of their budgetary costs on such services.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Insights is a product used by our DevOps team. We use Cloud Insights to completely monitor and optimize the public cloud computing system we have in AWS and GCP. The service definitely saves us time and helps us quickly spot problems and take actions that we would normally miss.

Pros

  • There's a free 30-day trial to make sure it's right for you
  • Data retention capability up to 13 months
  • Competitive pricing

Cons

  • REST API documentation could be better
  • Pricing is difficult to calculate using a Managed Unit

Likelihood to Recommend

I would be highly likely to recommended Cloud Insights to a colleague. It is definitely a successful product in optimizing costs, especially for companies with small DevOps and infrastructure teams. In such small organizations, the importance given to cloud products can lead to serious financial problems in the long run. Using Cloud Insights, it is very easy to optimize costs even with a much smaller team.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The big thing about [Cloud Insights] is the visibility in our data. More importantly, it is all in this tool. No matter what it is. It could be our cloud data, our reporting servers, or every single data transformation table that we have. The tool is specifically used to diagnose problems in moving data around.

Pros

  • Visibility
  • Usage Optimization
  • Alerts

Cons

  • Managing reports is a little clumsy

Likelihood to Recommend

[Cloud Insights] is easily well suited for finding problems extremely quickly. With how fast data is received nowadays, the faster that problems with the data are realized, the smaller the impact to the organization.

If you're looking for full report customization, this tool isn't going to be much use. However, that is not the bread and butter of what this tool is.
