"It's all about ease of use and reliability."
"The partitions function well for backup storage."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."
"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."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"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."
"It has helped us optimize our storage."
"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"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."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"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."
"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."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""
"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."
