The solution's technical support is good since my company has always had good experience with them over the call. Whenever my company faces some problems with the solution, NetApp's technical team tries to resolve those problems and tries to provide us with timely support.
Technical support has been very good.
View full review »When we were trying to migrate it was more of a licensing issue, again because we had our license originally from SteelStore. So when it got purchased by NetApp we had to migrate that, but that was the only time we had to engage support for it.
We actually ended up having to get our account team to get us a new free license because we'd already purchased it, but it had to get brought into the NetApp portfolio and so they helped.

We haven't used it and don't need it. There's no support calls to talk about.

I've interacted with technical support. I interacted with them a lot in small cases and in big cases. The good thing about NetApp, when it comes to a serious issue, if we're talking about real downtime, you will find everyone online with you.
I haven't use tech support.

The solution's technical support is quite good. Out of ten, we would easily rate it a nine.
View full review »We had this very technical problem. When we first stood the system up we used rsync to copy files across. That didn't work. We found that AltaVault didn't like hundreds of thousands of files, it wanted big, single files. So, we changed that and tarballed all the files up and sent them across and it all worked happily.
When we went to upgrade to 4.3, to SnapMirror to it, we decided to check with the virtual appliance, that we could actually retrieve data from the physical appliance. And when we did that, we found that there were symlink errors. What had happened when we did the rsync, it created the symlinks but when we deleted that out the AltaVault database didn't clear those symlinks out at the time. So, when we went to retrieve a file, it was looking for a symlink that didn't exist and there were a lot of problems. We worked with NetApp technical support to get a workaround in for us to be able to access that data from a second appliance and then were all up and running.
Technical support were excellent. Knowledgeable.

View full review »We have used tech support. If you get the right person, it's good. We have had issues getting to the right person, but once you get to the right person, they are knowledgeable.

Customer Service:
They listen to what their customers are saying.
Technical Support:We have extensively used tech support. It's decent.
View full review »We're still working with a PS engineer. Tech support, when we raised some of the issues we had, has been 50-50. Sometimes there seem to be conflicting answers, then it gets escalated. Then we get the actual solution to the problem.
Again, I couldn't speak to that myself. It would have to be a technical person that would do that.
