Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""The user interface is good.""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.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."

Cons
"The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view.""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."

"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.""There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily.""The initial setup is a little complex.""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 interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.""The stability of the solution is poor.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
