Positive impacts seen with improved data security and reliable support
I have six months of experience with the product, and as a consultant, the use cases for NetApp AltaVault mainly stand out for me. Regarding the deduplication feature in the product, I am interested in whether clients are using it. There are different integrations available with NetApp AltaVault, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and I want to understand how they impact data security policies in my case.

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 feature is the portability of large archived data, as you're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"AltaVault is very economical; you don't need big expertise to manage this product."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The interface is great; the GUI is great; it's so easy to work with."
"It took an entire silo of complexity and simplified it to a device in the cloud."
"It's been very helpful for us in our environment and what we do."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
 

Cons

"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"The initial installation is difficult for my clients who have it on both on-premises and on cloud."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"My advice is to stick with ONTAP and ownCloud because NetApp AltaVault is going to die."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It was actually a complete rebuild, and then migrate the database."
"We've had a lot of issues, crashed the service console a lot, service crashes."
"The product must provide multi-gate connectivity."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"The price is a bit high."
