We performed a comparison between Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager [EOL], NetApp OnCommand, and NetApp OnCommand Insight based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Dell Technologies, NetApp and others in Storage Management."The stability of the Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager is good."
"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."
"Snapshot is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This gives me better performance numbers and gives me more information about where my loopholes are, where I need to target my customers, where I need to go back and retain storage."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"It has helped us optimize our storage."
"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."
"It gives us the ability to look at our storage and figure out what we are doing with it. Without it, we are sort of blind."
"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."
"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."
"The solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
"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."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"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."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""
"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""
"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."
