We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I don't have any problems with the solution. It's issue-free."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use for anyone with minimal technical knowledge."
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"Feature-wise, Amazon S3 is the cheapest and it's reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the storage."
"The versioning of this solution for accidental deletion has been most valuable."
"The solution auto-scales so it is easily scalable."
"Its features help us to have a backup of our volumes using the native technology of NetApp ONTAP. That way, we don't have to invest in other solutions for our backup requirement. Also, it helps us to replicate the data to another geographic location so that helps us to save on the costs of backup products."
"This solution has made everything easier to do."
"The solution’s Snapshot copies and thin clones in terms of operational recovery are the best thing since sliced bread. Rollback is super easy. It's just simple, and it works. It's very efficient."
"The solution’s unified file and block-storage access across our infrastructure is invaluable. Without it, we can't do what we do."
"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."
"It's very easy to set up, and within 40 minutes, you can apply storage notes in Azure."
"There is unified storage, which provides flexibility. It is set up perfectly for performance and provisioning. We are able to monitor everything using a separate application. It provides error and critical warnings that allow us to take immediate action through ONTAP. We are able to manage everything, log a case, and follow up with the support team, who can fix it. That is how it is unified."
"It offers ease of use and a comprehensive suite of applications, including features like SnapMirror, SnapVault, and unified snapshot management, all bundled into a single product."
"Amazon S3 could improve the performance reports. It would be a benefit if they were more comprehensive."
"The solution needs to improve test recognition."
"I would like to see an easier setup that doesn't require as much training."
"You do need to get training on the setup process."
"I would like a batch downloading option added to the AWS console."
"The console could be improved - it's not very user friendly for non-technical guys."
"You need to fully understand the solution's best practices to get the most out of its security features."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"The product is more restricted with underlying cloud."
"I rate the scalability a five out of ten."
"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."
"The cost needs improvement."
"The solution could be better when we're connecting to our S3 side of the house. Right now, it doesn't see it, and I'm not sure why."
"The key feature, that we'd like to see in that is the ability to sync between regions within the AWS and Azure regions. We could use the cloud sync service, but we'd really like that native functionality within the cloud volume service."
"One difficulty is that it has no SAP HANA certification. The asset performance restrictions create challenges with the infrastructure underneath: The disks and stuff like that often have lower latencies than SAP HANA itself has to have."
"When Azure does their maintenance, they do maintenance on one node at a time. With the two nodes of the CVO, it can automatically fail over from one node to the node that is staying up. And when the first node comes back online, it will fail back to the first node. We have had issues with everything failing back 100 percent correctly."
