We compared NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Veeam Backup for Office 365 across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is ideal for hybrid or multi-cloud environments, providing comprehensive data management and integration capabilities. However, it has a complex setup process and is considered expensive. On the other hand, Veeam Backup for Office 365 is praised for its simplicity, stability, and ease of use. It has a straightforward setup and is more affordable. However, it lacks some integration features and may have inconsistent performance. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is better suited for organizations with complex data management needs, while Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a user-friendly option for Office 365 backup.
"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."
"Snapshots are one valuable feature within ONTAP, but CVO's appeal is that it acts just like the on-prem solution. It's the same OS, but in the cloud. We can continue to use ONTAP as we did on-premise."
"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."
"The solution’s unified file and block-storage access across our infrastructure is invaluable. Without it, we can't do what we do."
"So a lot of these licenses are at the rate that is required for capacity. So they're they're able to reduce the license consumption and also the consumption of the underlying cloud storage."
"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."
"It gives a solution for storage one place to go across everything. So, the customer is very familiar with NetApp on-prem. It allows them to gain access to the file piece. It helps them with the training aspect of it, so they don't have to relearn something new. They already know this product. They just have to learn some widgets or what it's like in the cloud to operate and deploy it in different ways."
"SnapMirror helps mirror metadata and data volumes between endpoints in a data fabric."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Office 365 are the ease of use and instant back and restore."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"The solution provides good backup services for Microsoft 365."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"The data tiering needs improvement. E.g., moving hard data to faster disks."
"When it comes to a critical or a read-write-intensive application, it doesn't provide the performance that some applications require, especially for SAP. The SAP HANA database has a write-latency of less than 2 milliseconds and the CVO solution does not fit there. It could be used for other databases, where the requirements are not so demanding, especially when it comes to write-latency."
"In the next release, I would like to see more options on the dashboard."
"We've just been dealing with general pre-requisite infrastructure configuration challenges. Once those are out of the way, it is easy."
"Something we would like to see is the ability to better manage the setup and tie it to our configuration management database. We manage our whole IT infrastructure out of that database."
"It would be fantastic if NetApp could offer a solution that's as user-friendly as Google Drive for seamless cloud storage integration."
"We have used technical support. As long as they don't call me at four o'clock in the morning to tell me that a drive failed and they are sending me another one, I like it. They have a tendency to do that."
"I would like NetApp to come up with an easier setup for the solution."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"Its price could be improved."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"We have found that there is a limitation in this solution where it only takes the backup of users who are using Office 365 Enterprise email IDs. We have many users in management and approximately 50 other users who are using Office 365 of which Veeam is able to capture the backup. However, for the other users who are on the local email server at that time, the solution is not able to capture the backup."
"When using Veeam Backup for Office 365 when there is a server that's running, I have to have a hard drive installed on it. For example, if I want to use another storage solution, I can't incorporate it very well. If I want to use SMB or other protocols I cannot use them with the Veeam Backup for Office 365. They have the support in the other Veeam Backup and Restore solutions, but it doesn't support it in this solution. Hopefully, in the future, they figured it out."
"If you use a device to back up with compression and duplication, the solution doesn't work."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
