Overall Satisfaction with NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software

We use 2 NetApp storage arrays at two different locations,
that are synchronised in case of power or network failure at one location, we
use Snap mirror to that provides asynchronous data replication between our two
locations.

The feature set on the hardware and Ontap OS provides the
tools and features to make sure our IT infrastructures upside is as close as
possible to 100%.

Pros

  • Snapshots
  • data replication
  • Encryption
  • Ransomware Protection
  • Deduplication
  • Data compression

Cons

  • Feature rich Cli but some features are missing from the UI
  • Lack of tools in UI compared to CLI
  • SnapMirror management from UI can be temperamental and as in previous points CLI is better.
  • Lower cost of storage due to the high rate of deduplication and compression.
  • The disaster recovery and data protection solutions have helped prevent ransomware and data loss.
  • NetApp have fantastic customer support if you need to contact them regarding an issue.

Did NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Would you buy NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software again?

Yes

NetApp solutions are flash only, the cost is higher than say
a hybrid storage solution and you get lower raw storage than say mechanical hard
drives.

The performance of an all-flash setup far exceeds standard
hardware and the ONTAP operating system pairs perfectly.

For our use case we picked NetApp due to the Security and compliance
features as we are in the public sector it’s an important area for us.

We need a storage solution that worked out of the box with VMware
the integration is easy and even has vvol support for VMware

The disaster recovery solutions built into ONTAP meet the
requirements of the features we were lacking with our previous solution.
