Lenovo TS Series vs NetApp OnCommand Insight comparison

"The most valuable aspect is that after our site blows up, we can recover the site afterward."

"It simplified the administration of our storages and environment."

"We have saved significantly by using OCI; I don't know the exact amount but it's more than a million."

"We get strategic insights and plan ahead."

"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see applications, as you can tag applications in all the different elements of an application and have it in a single view so you can see bullies and victims and get to the root cause of problems in the environment you would otherwise be unaware of."

"It's centralized, it's got a lot of data in there, and we can utilize the data that's in there and the output to other systems to run scripts off of it, so it's pretty versatile."

"We had stuff that we could bring up, so our data was protected, which is what it is all about."

"Performance monitoring of hundreds of switches and being able to see results in one dashboard."

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

"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."

"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."

"OnCommand Insight is really limited compared to what Cloud Insights is doing."

"From 7-Mode to C mode a migration happened and many features, like FTP and SFTP, were dropped. We have been using it, but there needs to be better communication when features are dropped because there are end users using it who might find it a shock: "Oh, why was that dropped?""

"I felt like it was complex. They said it was simple but, they have a guy who will come out and help you through the process."

"I would like them to develop voice commands so that I can say to the product, "Create a volume.""

"I think one of the weaknesses is pulling in systems outside of virtual environments, of physical hosts, and the like."

"We're not using it to its full potential, so it is hard to provide feedback here."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
