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.

Gives an end-to-end view of your environment and has a very good interface for report creation and customization

NetApp OnCommand Insight is a pretty good tool, and the only concern I have with it is the price. Its price is quite high and could be improved because the licensing feature of this particular tool is on a per GB basis instead of the price being for the complete tool itself. The more you discover, the more you need to pay, and this makes NetApp OnCommand Insight more costly when compared to other tools which are available in the market. My company doesn't have a cloud environment, so all storage is on-premises. I'm not aware of the integration of NetApp OnCommand Insight with the cloud environment, but the tool fits all the marks in terms of what I require and need. It checks all columns for me, so at the moment, nothing comes to mind in terms of additional features I'd like to see from the tool in the future.

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."

"It gives visibility to the VMs."

"I am very happy with the stability. When your customers don't notice anything wrong, that's the biggest win for a product."

"The machine learning features help me troubleshoot faster."

"Scalability: If you're from a large enterprise, it's easy for us to go into customer environments and pull the data out. It's very security-friendly."

"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."

"The most valuable feature is definitely the reports, the complete analysis of the data. We also like the scalability, since it can work with Hitachi, Isilon, etc."

"We haven't gone to the extent where we are using the anomaly detection, but from a reporting perspective and single-pane-of-glass perspective, to look at our heterogeneous infrastructure, it is doing a great job."

"It's stable and gives good feedback on performance."

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."

"I would like to see better graphics. We have seen regular graphs and pie graphs. I am sure that there are better ways to show this information."

"The initial setup is complex. There is a lot of stuff to set up. I had to teach my guys a lot of things, so there was a lot of learning."

"When we first went to Cluster Mode, we had a lot of problems. Setup took a few months. We had people onsite, including one of the top guys from NetApp for a while. Going from 7-Mode to Cluster Mode was rough."

"The UI: They have been growing and changing. There's been some growing pains with that, but they are moving into the new HTML5 interface, which is fantastic."

"I'd like it to be more stable, simpler, and get Java out of it."

"OnCommand Insight lacks AI to protect against ransomware and identify users accessing things abnormally."

"Just make it one product, not in pieces like performance and discovery. Stop having all these individual pieces."

"A little bit more from technical support would give us a little bit more insight."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Pricing by terabytes, not the end of the world, and that's okay. Stop if I want this, I have to buy that. Just release it as a single product."

"We just made a major investment back in May of this year, so we'll have it for another four and a half or five years easily. Thus, we have a five year bumper to bumper agreement."

"Pricing for NetApp OnCommand Insight could be cheaper. On a scale of one to five, I would rate its price a four."

"We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."

"The cost: It is expensive as a solution. You need to be an expert to get anything out of it and we don't have that kind of expertise."

"The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."

"For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
