The most valuable feature is the snap shot.
NetApp SnapMirror is praised for its replication, data compression during transfer, and reliable performance but requires multiple licenses for features like synchronous mirror, increasing initial costs. While it excels in management, scalability is limited with diverse storage families. Users highlight ease of use and stability, yet improvements in third-party integration and data reduction are needed. Pricing comparisons suggest it should be more competitive, possibly matching other vendors' free offerings.
