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."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."
"Snapshot is a valuable feature."
"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."
"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient."
"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."
"It has helped us optimize our storage."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"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."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."
"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."
"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."
"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 solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"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."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
"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."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
