"I believe one of the advantages we saw was that the configuration was manageable."
"This solution is very helpful and easy to use."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most important feature to us is creating live snapshots without impacting user access to the file. NetApp's processes are transparent to users and allow us to create point-in-time snapshots, enabling us to replicate that data into the cloud in real time without any impact."
"It doesn't occupy a lot of space and is very easy to use once you schedule the snapshots."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"You never have to worry about maintaining millions of files stored across several thousands of virtual machines."
"The consistency of Snapshot is very significant."
"The solution is fast and it doesn't use any disc space at all. You can also take as many snapshots as you like. These are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the snapshot and clone capabilities."
"I would like to have the ability to bit the same system with multiple AppSync replications would definitely be beneficial to us. And general flexibility enhancements."
"It would be helpful if this product has features for transferring to the cloud."
"Not a perfect ten because there is one point off to give it room for improvement."
"I would like some sort of notification that lets me know when a snapshot is done or not done."
"The initial setup of NetApp Snapshot is not straightforward. It's not something that you can do just by clicking on the next step button. It has to be designed and it has to be implemented according to your network capabilities and the use case scenario."
"I would like to see cloud features added to the next release of this solution."
"The solution could include more databases and make it accessible to the DBAs. The automation process should be run in a way where it could be run from the database itself."
"If your data is more dynamic and changes frequently, you need more granular retention levels and need to save it for a longer duration, then this becomes a real challenge."
"I think the automation needs some improvement."
"The next release should include developments on the step center for purpose or bandwidth."
