Its stability is very bad. We had problems with the stability of the appliance from the beginning. It has been crashing very often. I would rate it a zero out of ten in terms of stability. We have been very dissatisfied with its stability during its implementation and since it has been live.

It's worked very well for us for what we're using it for, so I have no complaints about stability.

Once the product is up and running with the build configured correctly, the product will run itself. It is highly stable.

My impressions of the stability so far are really good. The customers that we install for, seem to really like it. They've taken to it very quickly, have become very dependent on it, and are scaling out their environment.

It's pretty stable because you can independently add and remove storage nodes and our compute nodes. It's very resilient and scalable. That's what we look for.

Because there is practically no downtime, it is stable. We haven't encountered any issues so far.

It is a lifesaver, definitely an A plus stability-wise. All around, it's a great solution.

Because we are testing the product we aren't able to talk about the stability yet.

We haven't had many issues with stability. We're still flexibly moving nodes left and right, so it's been stable to almost everything we need to do.

The stability of this solution is good. It's stable, and I haven't had to do much work with it. In addition, I haven't had many NetApp support tickets with it.

Stability is one of the things we absolutely have to have, because if the HCI is down, our assembly lines are down, and that could potentially lead to our customer being down. If our customer is down, that's $10,000 a minute; and any time the assembly line is down, that could potentially lead to overtime. We don't get to charge one and a half times for something we billed just because we happened to build it on overtime. Any technology we bring in, has to be built for what I call "three in the morning." It can't be built for whenever everybody's in the plant, everybody can watch it, and everybody can babysit. It has to be built for three a.m. when we've got a skeletal staff there, and we just have to know that it's just running. As I stand here, right now, I don't have to check my phone, I don't have to check my email. I know it's running. Period.

The stability is rock solid. We have been through two upgrades and it didn't affect anything. We have had no downtime.

We do not have a stable system, yet. The vCenter has been crashing.

We're going to the 10.3 now and we haven't lost any data, which is a good thing. Some of the API calls were causing time-outs, but that's been fixed in the version we're moving to, so it's becoming more and more stable all the time.

The stability has been good so far. It's worked just fine. Uptime: no problems. No failures at this point. It's still running, so that's a good thing.

Because of the repeated failure of the motherboard that we experienced, we have doubts about the stability of the solution, but I'm sure that in the near future it will be a great, reliable solution for us.

The stability of the solution has been pretty good so far. Alerts have not been too noisy. We do like the Active IQ and the ability to look at statistics on the system.

The stability is fantastic. That's why I've stuck with it. In my mind, it's one of the best storage products. The software around it also has got to be the best across all different storage environments.

Infrastructure Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

We did have some stability issues. However, we got it pretty early on. We did have a bunch of purple screens, but after we updated it, I believe those went away and it was a lot more stable. We have not had it up for a few months now, but it did get more stable.
