Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The stability of the Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager is good."

More Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager [EOL] Pros →

"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.""One of the main features is the ability to run the block and file storage from the same system.""In OnCommand Unified Manager, we can monitor the entire cluster as well as configure data protection through Unified Manager.""Snapshot is a valuable feature."

More NetApp OnCommand Pros →

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

More SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor Pros →

Cons
"Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager could improve by having more parameters for storage. When you take the solution out of the box there need to be some more features built-in."

More Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager [EOL] Cons →

"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.""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."

More NetApp OnCommand Cons →

"The solution could always be more easily scalable."

More SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor Cons →
