Easy to use, manage and deploy
There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle. It's just that some data might be lost, and some accounts here and there might be lost. So, the whole operation when it comes to the covering of the tapes is quite a hard one.

Centralized dashboard has simplified cloud backups and now streamlines multi-cloud data migrations
The best features NetApp BlueXP offers, in my experience, include a single dashboard for every operation, which helps reduce manual work. It has a great dashboard with better visibility and works across multiple clouds, whether in a hybrid or multiple cloud environments. The dashboard helps my team day-to-day by providing a very easy-to-use UI that is not too complex. We can easily add cloud details, create buckets, and manage all the information for backup. The operations are GUI-based, making it very helpful for configuring these tasks without using complex CLI commands. NetApp BlueXP positively impacts my organization by providing good integration with NetApp storage including ONTAP and Trident, along with built-in monitoring and alerts. It saves a lot of time and reduces the in-field engineers' costs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is that after our site blows up, we can recover the site afterward."
"When we compare it to classic infrastructure, we see money saving."
"The software interface can extract the data from the backend effectively."
"NetApp BlueXP makes it easier to deliver products and manage inventory."
"NetApp BlueXP has positively impacted my organization by reducing storage management effort by thirty to sixty percent, with less time spent on day-to-day storage operations, resulting in faster provisioning of storage, where storage provisioning time drops from hours to minutes."
"It has improved our disaster recovery."
"The primary benefit is that it simplifies data management. We face a lot of classification issues with our customers. They need to classify data, but they don't know how to do it. We can help them do it using BlueXP Datasense."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all our different systems in one place. That's the most important feature for us."
"If your use case involves backing up data from the cloud or transitioning data from on-prem to cloud or between multiple or hybrid clouds, NetApp BlueXP is a very good tool."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle."
"The tool needs to make its licensing pages more user-friendly."
"The VMware capabilities can be improved."
"It is not easy to integrate with Google because if we have some problems, we must talk with Google and NetApp support."
"Performance could be a little better. In my opinion, it's a bit slow. If you click on something, it takes a while for the data to load."
"The dashboard management could be improved."
"It's a very expensive product."
"NetApp BlueXP is powerful but can feel dense; what could be improved are more guided workflows, such as 'set up backup for this workload' or 'optimize storage cost in three steps.'"
"I chose eight out of ten because the UI is slow sometimes, and the initial configuration is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the competitors, it's a pretty cheap solution."
