We performed a comparison between NetApp OnCommand and NetApp OnCommand Insight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Storage Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am impressed with the product's ability to warn us whenever something is wrong with the system. It is connected with Active Directory and Exchange. Whenever there is anything wrong with NetApp, the solution will alert you to an event error, post which you can start to troubleshoot."
"Snapshot is a valuable feature."
"In OnCommand Unified Manager, we can monitor the entire cluster as well as configure data protection through Unified Manager."
"One of the main features is the ability to run the block and file storage from the same system."
"This gives me better performance numbers and gives me more information about where my loopholes are, where I need to target my customers, where I need to go back and retain storage."
"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."
"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."
"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"There could be better performance in block storage and the GUI could be improved because not every operation is available. You need some operations in the CLI."
"The solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"At present, OnCommand Unified Manager has just the monitoring and data protection features. It would be better to add some features for entire cluster management and storage management. Automation should also be included so that instead of separately accessing Unified Manager and OnCommand Workflow Automation, we can work in a single window. It is very much required."
"The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view."
"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"You can build those out, but initially when you bring up the dashboard, that was one thing they couldn't take away. They couldn't change that. It just looks kind of kludgy. I'd like it to look a lot more clean when I first login."
"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""
"NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market."
