Snapshots have enabled us to restore critical data quickly and confidently after unexpected changes
The functions or features I have found most valuable in NetApp Snapshot are that it is easy to do and takes very little time. The main benefits that NetApp Snapshot provides for me are that if anything goes wrong, we can go back and restore something. It gives you peace of mind, which saves money, effort, and everything else. I use NetApp's WAFL architecture as it is their way of doing things, how to save the files and everything else. It is built-in. You cannot avoid WAFL when you use NetApp. Regarding the integration of NetApp Snapshot with applications and workloads, we have NetApp Snapshot integrated with our OpenStack platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"We see that deduplication and compression give us a lot of space, so space efficiency impacts our data management strategy."
"NetApp is extremely stable, no doubt about that."
"What I find most valuable, is the simplicity of the technology."
"It doesn't occupy a lot of space and is very easy to use once you schedule the snapshots."
"It centralizes your data."
"You never have to worry about protecting your virtual machines."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The data protection provides peace of mind."
 

Cons

"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could include more databases and make it accessible to the DBAs. The automation process should be run in a way where it could be run from the database itself."
"The information on this panel doesn't always give good information; sometimes, the disk space left gives wrong information, and we have to go in the SSH with the console to control this."
"The UI is probably their biggest weakness. There are always glitches in the HTML UI."
"I think the automation needs some improvement."
"NetApp needs to take a look at their pricing in comparison to the competition and make the appropriate change to attract more customers and gain in market share."
"Although support is good, the global support is lacking depending on location."
"NetApp Snapshot's price could improve to allow them to capture more market shares."
"In my opinion, what NetApp can do to make NetApp Snapshot better is lower the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"The price of the solution is reasonable but could improve. However, if you are in a country that has a poor currency then the price will be considered expensive."
"The price of this solution is fair."
"The price of NetApp Snapshot depends on the use case. They charge by how much data you need, the capability, and for snap licenses."
"NetApp Snapshot is expensive since you need to buy an additional premium license for it which is an extra cost over the payments made for NetApp...The license works during the entire life cycle of NetApp Snapshot."
"It's not too expensive."
"As far as their licensing costs, the licensing is paid on a yearly basis. The organization pays for the licensing based on the software and the capacity that they choose."
"If there is a way to save more on the number of snapshots, it should be included in the next release."
"Snapshot is free and comes with the NetApp storage software. It's purely free of cost."
