"The solution has been working well overall."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EqualLogic PS series auto tiering by using this feature, the customer can get higher performance on a valuable budget."
"The solution can scale."
"The product is very stable."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"The support is very good."
"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."
"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 inline deduplication capability."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"Needs to add wizards for newer, inexperienced users."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"I think this kind of infrastructure is mostly obsolete. To keep up with developments in this space, you need to move all these features to an All-Flash solution."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
