"The partitions function well for backup storage."
"It is easy to control the storage."
"It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc."
"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."
"It has helped us optimize our storage."
"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view. I can locate my searches and view my storage devices. I can also find my recent servers and other host devices. I can then map all those into a single view, so that I can learn about the performance of my devices, or if there's a bottleneck at a particular place. I like that I can view all those information in NetApp OnCommand Insight. I like that very much. I also like that NetApp OnCommand Insight has a very good interface that allows you to create and customize reports, and it also offers a bundle of reports as well."
"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."
"Technical support is inadequate."
"Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades."
"The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved."
"When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."
"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."
"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."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too."
"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."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"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."
