"Compression of the backup Oracle by RMAN on NFS saves space 5:1."
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"The best feature is its ONTAP product line for Ransomware protection. It also has features for file storage and block storage. The solution is stable. We've had no issues with it. The tool is scalable and meets our requirements. The technical support and the supporting partner are great. The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to maintain the product. The feature set is excellent. I recommend the solution."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is SnapMirror."

"It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."

"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"Its licensing cost can be improved."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
