Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The storage capacity is really one of the most valuable features. Also, the GUI is very friendly and the switches gives high performance. The technology used in storage is RAID which as helped us a lot to expand and store various items ."
"It has many options for scalability, and it is stable."
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"The most important features are SnapVault, Snapshots, and SnapMirror."
"Adaptive balancing is a valuable feature."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"The new FAS series is a good fit for some customers. We have good performance and capacity, even though it is full flash."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"The call charges and the management cost should be more friendly. They can also include monitoring and management."
"The handling of data deletion and bulk servers setup could have been more straightforward and easier when dealing with data removal or setting up servers. I believe Huawei could enhance their solutions, especially managing storage, to provide a better experience for customers."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"Replication should ideally be part of the ONTAP base bundle."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in deployment and configuration processes."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
