"It's all about ease of use and reliability."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."
"It gives us the ability to look at our storage and figure out what we are doing with it. Without it, we are sort of blind."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."
"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."
"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"You can build those out, but initially when you bring up the dashboard, that was one thing they couldn't take away. They couldn't change that. It just looks kind of kludgy. I'd like it to look a lot more clean when I first login."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."
