"The initial setup is simple."

"The implementation is straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The initial setup process is simple."

"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"Fast Snapshots"
"The solution is stable."
"The solution has tiers inside which means we do not only need to use SSDs."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"Needs more SAN support."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"The solution can improve on the replication features."
"Its licensing cost can be improved."
"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."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
