"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."

"Can use both SAN and NAS at the same time."
"NetApp FAS Series is simple to set up."

"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"The product is flexible."

"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."

"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."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"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."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"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."
