Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, IBM, NetApp and others in Storage Management."It has become easy to backup and archive all our system data and financial data. It helps us mainly in managing the backup of our databases, and it is easy to retrieve that data and find it in a secure place."
"The solution is stable."
"The tapes are mounted automatically. You can read a tape automatically without waiting for someone to insert it."
"With this product, it all becomes automatic: locating the data, backing up the data, restoring the data. We can automate all that with it."
"package that manages all of your tapes. Create/write/catalog, retention, delete. There are queries and reports, which are needed to know when/where/length keeping, etc., in order to track them or find out current status."
"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 product itself is fairly complex so the install is as well."
"The solution's cost needs improvement."
"When we want to interface the CA 1 product with other vendors, IBM or others, it is difficult to interface it with them, because you need some exits, you need to compile some assemblers."
"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 tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view."
"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."
