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."
"What we are getting out of it and what we are providing to the leadership has been extremely valuable to them."
"What I found most valuable in NetApp OnCommand Insight is that it gives me a complete view of the environment, particularly an end-to-end view."
"The company has saved money by narrowing down issues faster using servers and performance."
"OnCommand Insight's most valuable feature is the ability to see figure applications."
"We get strategic insights and plan ahead."
"If you're going to do any reasonable-sized NetApp installation, you need to have it."
"Has made our operations simpler."
"Right now, it's our single pane of glass to monitor our entire infrastructure."
 

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 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."
"We can't encompass everything into it yet."
"There was a minor issue where we were receiving a notification that a cluster was not available, or communication to the cluster."
"Maybe lower the price."
"We have had great success with OCI from the reporting perspective, but when it comes to other heterogeneous data sources, there might be some disconnects."
"It is very hard to implement. It takes a long time to learn."
"We suffer a little bit from stability. At each batching cycle, we find some services that need to be restarted."
 

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."
"For me, it is always too much. Licensing is on TBs, and I think, nowadays that is outmoded."
"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."
"We like that it is one license and everything is bundled in together."
"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."
