We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Wasabi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of use in terms of how the product works is valuable. We are able to work with it and deploy the storage that we need."
"NetApp's Cloud Manager automation capabilities are very good because it's REST-API-driven, so we can completely automate everything. It has a good overview if you want to just have a look into your environment as well."
"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."
"ONTAP has been very stable for us, specifically in the cloud environment. It allows us to have high availability as well as standalone systems if that's what we want within our specific workloads. Also, on-premise has been a very stable environment. We have very few outages and when we do, we work with support to get systems back online in a timely manner."
"The good thing about NetApp is the features that are available on the cloud are also available on-premises."
"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."
"It gives a solution for storage one place to go across everything. So, the customer is very familiar with NetApp on-prem. It allows them to gain access to the file piece. It helps them with the training aspect of it, so they don't have to relearn something new. They already know this product. They just have to learn some widgets or what it's like in the cloud to operate and deploy it in different ways."
"The storage tiering is definitely the most valuable feature... With respect to tiering, the inactive data is pushed to a lower tier where the storage cost is cheap, but the access cost is high."
"We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is its cost."
"The most valuable feature of Wasabi is the backups."
"Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly."
"The tool is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution."
"Cloud Volumes ONTAP's interface could use an overhaul. Sometimes you have to dig around in Cloud Manager a little bit to find certain things. The layout could be more intuitive."
"The integration wizard requires a bit of streamlining. There are small things that misconfigure or repeat the deployment that will create errors, specifically in Azure."
"Not a perfect ten because it's not very efficient with upgrades and management."
"When it comes to a critical or a read-write-intensive application, it doesn't provide the performance that some applications require, especially for SAP. The SAP HANA database has a write-latency of less than 2 milliseconds and the CVO solution does not fit there. It could be used for other databases, where the requirements are not so demanding, especially when it comes to write-latency."
"The data tiering needs improvement. E.g., moving hard data to faster disks."
"The solution could be better when we're connecting to our S3 side of the house. Right now, it doesn't see it, and I'm not sure why."
"I would want more visibility and data analytics where we can see anomalies within the shares within the GUI."
"There is room for improvement with the capacity. There's a very hard limit to how many disks you can have and how much space you can have. That is something they should work to fix, because it's limiting. Right now, the limit is about 360 terabytes or 36 disks."
"Setting up users on the appliance should be improved."
"The solution’s user reporting could be improved."
"Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent."
"The solution must allow the extension of the retention period."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The scalability could improve."
"I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."
