We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NetApp BlueXP makes it easier to deliver products and manage inventory.""The primary benefit is that it simplifies data management. We face a lot of classification issues with our customers. They need to classify data, but they don't know how to do it. We can help them do it using BlueXP Datasense.""The most valuable feature is the ability to view all our different systems in one place. That's the most important feature for us."

More NetApp BlueXP Pros →

"Once we gathered and saw what we were doing with everything, we saved close to a petabyte worth of data by being able to delete old data and move stuff around. Thus, we became more efficient.""OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications.""It has helped us optimize our storage.""The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster.""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.""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.""It gives visibility to the VMs."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

Cons
"Performance could be a little better. In my opinion, it's a bit slow. If you click on something, it takes a while for the data to load.""The tool needs to make its licensing pages more user-friendly.""The VMware capabilities can be improved."

"It's the interop matrix. And if there was a chance to orchestrate on a heterogeneous structure using OCI, that would be a great start; or at least a plugin to each one of them, that would be a great start too.""The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning.""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?"""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.""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.""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.""The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Pricing by terabytes, not the end of the world, and that's okay. Stop if I want this, I have to buy that. Just release it as a single product."
  • "The cost: It is expensive as a solution. You need to be an expert to get anything out of it and we don't have that kind of expertise."
  • "For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
  • "The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
  • "We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."
  • "We just made a major investment back in May of this year, so we'll have it for another four and a half or five years easily. Thus, we have a five year bumper to bumper agreement."
  • "Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."
