"Data consolidation and visualization."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"A reliable and easily managed storage system is a key performance factor. The system also has more features than we require."
"Flexible and reliable storage solution with multiple features such as cloning, replication, and deduplication. Data migration can be done without any performance implications on the production systems."
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product."
"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."
"I’ve found that I use command line more often than I thought needed. Some things should be done in the GUI, and command-line switches can be overwhelming and take up a lot of time."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"With scalability, we feel the system is limited."
"The solution can improve on the replication features."
"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."
