We performed a comparison between Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager [EOL], NetApp OnCommand Insight, and SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor 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."
"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."
"It gives visibility to the VMs."
"The Performance Manager: Where we get performance statistics."
"Being able to immediately look at my data. See the sizing, where I'm at on different virtual machines."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"The most valuable feature is the security. When we identify a vulnerability, it is easy to mitigate it. NetApp provides the solution. It's also easy to create and move volumes."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."
"Enhance SNMP monitoring in order to broaden the number of storages that can be discovered."
"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?""
"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."
"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."
"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."
"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."
"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."
"The solution could always be more easily scalable."
