We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to deploy.""Its ability to quickly inventory our resources, figure out interdependencies across them, and assemble a topology of your environment is brilliant. There is a price associated with it. Whenever you target a NetApp environment, it is included in the price but whenever you want to add different vendors, like VMware and Cisco, the price greatly spikes. Inventorization helps us a lot to visualize the environment.""Cloud Secure is definitely the most valuable feature and being able to see file level activity. It gives real-time alerting on possible ransomware attacks and provides file security review. It helps us to see if something abnormal is happening on the system before it's too late.""Cloud Insights' best features are visibility and the connector to move the workloads.""The visibility and assistance with security vulnerabilities are valuable.""Among the most valuable features are the queries and reporting that allow us to look at the utilization of resources, at how well the storage is performing, and to report on which resources are being used by which business units. We can track usage across the entire environment, across applications, business units, cost centers, etc.""It is good for giving an overview of the systems and for tracking long-term trends. It is handy for root cause analysis, e.g. it can eliminate whether storage is the cause of an issue.""One feature we appreciate the most is its ability to take snapshots, which adds an extra layer of security and allows us to protect our data effectively."

"It is a market leader and is very implementation-friendly. Developers have a clear understanding of how the solution works, and it is mature enough to handle different client needs.""I like the tool's discovery feature.""The Discovery feature is the most valuable. I only use the Discovery and Service Mapping features. I am using the minor subscription called ITOM Visibility, which includes the Discovery and Service Mapping features. It is easy to understand and easy to use. It has a lot of documentation. You can find a lot of help online, which helps me in finding what I need in a rapid way. You can find videos on YouTube channels and a lot of stuff and information in the online community.""The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping.""The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration.""ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization.""The scalability of ServiceNow is good.""It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything."

Cons
"The IP-based monitoring could be added in a future release.""Their pricing model needs improvement.""The visualization needs some improvement because there are occasional delays while the system queries information.""Ease of reporting is one thing that they're trying to tackle. If you have a specific set of data you want from Cloud Insights, you can ask NetApp to help you build the reports from the ground up. The dashboards are intuitive, but finding the report you want is sometimes a challenge. If you don't have the report already loaded, pulling it in and letting it build its data can be cumbersome.""The support is not very quick.""The first level of NetApp's technical support could be improved.""Most of the time, I initially connect with entry-level support, and then I need to request a higher-tier support level, which can result in delays.""Cloud Insights could offer more detail when we drill down into the Azure environment."

More NetApp Cloud Insights Cons →

"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices.""ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work.""Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers.""The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools.""There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow.""Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization.""ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits.""The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing model could be improved. We love that you can use it for free for looking at NetApp products. You only need licenses to look at non-NetApp products, but as soon as you do that, you start utilizing licenses that actually would have been free in the public. So, there is a bit of an anomaly in the licensing model."
  • "Be aware of the capacity licensing and understand how that works, because it is based on capacity. Getting an understanding of that is the biggest thing."
  • "The solution's pricing is based on the device you purchase and includes support services."
  • "We are billed based on management units, so we can purchase units based on six months, twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months upfront or pay as you go depending on our requirements."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "The licensing is complex. The calculation depends on what you're ingesting. A terabyte of one product is not a terabyte of another product. Virtual machines don't equate so easily. It's all about the end-use managed units and having an easy place to reference how far those units go."
  • More NetApp Cloud Insights Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
  • "It has different subscription models."
  • "There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
  • "The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
  • "It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
  • "This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
  • "The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
  • "My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
