Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Dell Technologies, NetApp and others in Storage Management."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."
"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."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The user interface is good."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"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 solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"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 interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
