"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The initial setup was so straightforward. It was well-documented."
"Can use both SAN and NAS at the same time."
"The most valuable features are the NAS features and NetApp's excellent support."
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"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."
"The most important features are SnapVault, Snapshots, and SnapMirror."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"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."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"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."
"Replication should ideally be part of the ONTAP base bundle."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"Technical support needs to be improved, as there are no longer partners in our country."
"Its licensing cost can be improved."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
