"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."

"No other area for improvement comes to mind other than its price. Making the price more attractive will help this solution have a bigger market share."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."

"Interfacing with the cloud environment could be better. I want to be able to move some cloud volume and integrate it seamlessly with my home on-premise storage. Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
