Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.

A workhorse that enables high availability but support has room for improvement

There is always room for improvement. When a product is marketed, many claims are made, but in reality, it does not always perform as expected. The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced. The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response.

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 of this solution is that it makes our data readily available and we don't have to go through a lot of trouble to access it."

"SnapMirror helps mirror metadata and data volumes between endpoints in a data fabric."

"They have very good support team who is very helpful. They will help you with every aspect of getting the deployment done."

"Snapshots are one valuable feature within ONTAP, but CVO's appeal is that it acts just like the on-prem solution. It's the same OS, but in the cloud. We can continue to use ONTAP as we did on-premise."

"I like how you can easily pair on-prem with the cloud and the cloud backup feature. I like the whole integration with on-prem and the cloud for SnapMirror relationships."

"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."

"The good thing about NetApp is the features that are available on the cloud are also available on-premises."

"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pros

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage is valuable for storing unstructured data, such as text documents and word documents."

"I am totally satisfied with it."

"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."

"The technical support for the solution was very nice."

"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."

Cons

"The support is good in general but the initial, front-line support could be improved. Because I have already been using the product for so long, when I call support I would rather talk to somebody who is a little bit more advanced or senior, rather than talking to the first-level support. Usually, it takes some time to reach out to their senior support."

"I would want more visibility and data analytics where we can see anomalies within the shares within the GUI."

"The DR has room for improvement. For example, we now have NetApp in Western Europe and we would like to back up the information to another region. It's impossible. We need to bring up an additional NetApp in that other region and create a Cloud Manager automation to copy the data... I would prefer it to be a more integrated solution like it was in the NetApp solution about a year ago. I would like to see something like AltaVault but in the cloud."

"We have used technical support. As long as they don't call me at four o'clock in the morning to tell me that a drive failed and they are sending me another one, I like it. They have a tendency to do that."

"The automated deployment was a bit complex using the public APIs. When we had to deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP on a regular basis using automation, It could be a bit of a challenge."

"In the next release, I would like to see more options on the dashboard."

"There is room for improvement with the capacity. There's a very hard limit to how many disks you can have and how much space you can have. That is something they should work to fix, because it's limiting. Right now, the limit is about 360 terabytes or 36 disks."

"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP should improve its support."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP cons

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."

"I could not find a load balancer in OCI similar to the support provided by Microsoft Azure and AWS."

"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."

"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."

"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."

"The first time setup for Oracle Cloud Object Storage is a little bit complex, but after implementation, there is no complexity."

"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."

"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of this solution is definitely higher than what the typical Azure Files and AWS solutions charge, but given the features and the stability NetApp has provided, we are okay with it. We are not complaining about the pricing."

"If we wanted to use the AWS solution, we would have to manage two or three different platforms and pay more money than what we should have to pay, as some of the features don't even exist. If we wanted to, we could use AWS cloning, but it is useless because it uses more space, is more expensive, and takes more time."

"Once we deploy the pay as you go model, we cannot convert this product as a BYOL model. This is a concern that we have."

"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."

"They allow a special price if you are working closely with them. Since we have a lot of NetApp systems, we got some kind of discount. That's something they do for other customers, not just for us. The price was fair. In addition to the licensing fees, you're paying Amazon for your usage..."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there are fees for Azure, the VMs themselves and for data transfer."

"The deal with the seller was acceptable; the pricing is reasonable."

"The cost is quite high."

More NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP pricing and cost advice

"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."

"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."

"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
