Achieves seamless business continuity with robust scalability
The features of NetApp SnapMirror that I have found most valuable include the possibility to stop synchronization in case of high network latency and to limit the bandwidth throttle. This means limiting bandwidth when less connectivity occurs or opening wide the throttling to use the full speed of network connectivity, which we can adjust according to our needs or the needs of our customers. All of this is done without limiting business continuity, so business continuity is always guaranteed. NetApp SnapMirror's data replication feature supports disaster recovery strategies, as it is incorporated into the business continuity feature. SnapMirror is strictly related to snapshot features, a core part of ONTAP, so it's very flexible. It allows us to start with just two snapshots as a simple backup and then use them as a replication point or base for both backup and business continuity. There is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on how it works for specific needs.

"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"There are a lot of features that are excellent. The data compression during the transfer, for example, is good. The replication is great. The durability of the solution and the speed of the data moving from one site to another is impressive."
"We have migrated data from old and expiring Netapp hardware using Snapmirror, thereby allowing us to decommission the old hardware and save power, maintenance, and cost."
"It has been 100% stable."
"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"Overall, the product is very good."
 

Cons

"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"The price could be cheaper."
"This process can get out of control sometimes and cause excessive disk utilization."
"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site."
"Synchronous replication with read-write on both sides in both data centers is powerful but risky since it is greatly affected by high network latency."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."
"You need too many separate licenses for the features. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."

"The pricing can be improved."
"The cost is low compared to different vendors."
"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."
"The product price is reasonable."

"It's a highly cost-effective solution"
