We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ and NetApp Cloud Insights based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Among the most valuable features are the queries and reporting that allow us to look at the utilization of resources, at how well the storage is performing, and to report on which resources are being used by which business units. We can track usage across the entire environment, across applications, business units, cost centers, etc."
"The solution is easy to deploy."
"Cloud Insights' best features are visibility and the connector to move the workloads."
"NetApp Cloud Insights helps with login monitoring and troubleshooting. Previously, if we had performance concerns or needed to interface with other groups and their products, a task that should require only one or two people turned into a six-person job."
"It is good for giving an overview of the systems and for tracking long-term trends. It is handy for root cause analysis, e.g. it can eliminate whether storage is the cause of an issue."
"The visibility and assistance with security vulnerabilities are valuable."
"Cloud Secure is definitely the most valuable feature and being able to see file level activity. It gives real-time alerting on possible ransomware attacks and provides file security review. It helps us to see if something abnormal is happening on the system before it's too late."
"The solution is 98 percent stable."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The visualization needs some improvement because there are occasional delays while the system queries information."
"Cloud Insights could offer more detail when we drill down into the Azure environment."
"The first level of NetApp's technical support could be improved."
"There is room for improving the creating and managing or modifying of reports. That is still a difficult task to do and requires knowledge beyond the storage itself. I would love to see reporting improved so that we can create reports by dragging and dropping pieces into a report form and publish a report that way."
"Most of the time, I initially connect with entry-level support, and then I need to request a higher-tier support level, which can result in delays."
"Ease of reporting is one thing that they're trying to tackle. If you have a specific set of data you want from Cloud Insights, you can ask NetApp to help you build the reports from the ground up. The dashboards are intuitive, but finding the report you want is sometimes a challenge. If you don't have the report already loaded, pulling it in and letting it build its data can be cumbersome."
"Their pricing model needs improvement."
"The IP-based monitoring could be added in a future release."
