"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"NAS stability"
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."

"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."

"Performance can sometimes be affected when tools are utilized for tasks like backup or deep archiving."

"There also needs to be single sign-on support."
"The recovery is a bit slow."
"The interface has room for improvement. It's not ideal right now."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
