Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Senior Principal Infrastructure Engineer at Mphasis	3.5	We use Spot Ocean by NetApp to manage our Kubernetes infrastructure, including AKS and EKS, appreciating its automatic management and scaling capabilities. However, the lack of support for OCI is an area needing improvement for better integration.
Owner at a tech services company with 1-10 employees	4.5	I use Spot by NetApp mainly for backup and Fiservware. Its valuable features include the SASA solution and NetApp's disk array, providing block and file access. Overall, I see good financial benefits without any specific need for improvements.
