"Experience with the full product suite of backup and recovery for NetApp"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

The B/R applications are very intuitive. NetApp has hooks into the application it is backing up so that you not only get the efficiency of snapshots on the backend storage but the application can truncate logs because it is application aware. Snapmirror replications makes DR possible and easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

I have not run across anything that really stands out as a dislike regarding NetApp backup and recovery options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetApp Backup and Recovery:

Use the applications anywhere and everywhere you can. They are worth the time to deploy and make management of snapshots a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NetApp Backup and Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have effectively removed the reliance on tape backup by utilizing local snapshots, snapmirror replications for offsite backups, and snapvault to keep retention for archival purposes. The backup window has been reduced exponentially. The ease of use and confidence in the product has brought a "set it and forget it" attitude for backups. Recovery times are decrease and couldn't be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the remote sites, we no longer need an administrator to run backups—it’s all done automatically with SnapVault back to Las Vegas. And again, because of the efficiency of SnapVault, we have been able to utilize existing T1 and higher connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional Services Consultant"

4.5/5

What do you like best about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

--Netapp provides excellent Customer support from Start to finish! In my opinion, the best of all the storage vendors. Their hardware and software is very reliable and easy to upgrade.

--SnapMirror! An easy and cost effective way to backup your data to another set of local disks and then move your data off-site. Awesome Tool.

--NetApp being an all in one product is a plus (SAN & NAS - Plus all Protocols - FC\FC0e\NFS\CIF\iSCSI). This provides excellent cost savings - in man-hours, data center costs and space savings. The built in efficiency tools are included in the equipment purchase - No A-la-Cart type purchases to run up coasts your bottom line costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

--NetApp tools utilize JAVA - this is very painful - as different products, require different Java versions - very annoying!. --NetApp provides some excellent tool sets, however, there are too many of them. It would be great if some of these tools could be folded together. One or two tools to monitor the environment.

--Snap Protect (OEM Commvault) is very cost effective, but doesn't scale out well. The product is fairly easy to install\set up, but hard to scale out. This product needs better integration into existing environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetApp Backup and Recovery:

Ensure you understand your existing infrastructure and Business requirements before you make ANY decisions with Storage and\or Backup and Recovery infrastructure. Ensure you deploy a solution that best fits your existing infrastructure and future plans. Fold into your network, vice tear down and rebuild! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NetApp Backup and Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data growth is out of control and IT budgets are not keeping pace. I am trying to ensure that Storage engineers control their data vice letting the data control them. Leverage data efficiency at all times (Dedupe, Thin provision, link clones etc). Use of NetApp Cluster mode is also an excellent way to get off the IT Refresh cycle. Once your running a clustered environment you no longer have to do expensive data migrations when it's time to retire an old system. You can do Non-Disruptive Upgrades of Hardware and Software. You can now grow your storage infrastructure both horizontally and vertically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Snapshot are the best for quick data recovery."

4/5

What do you like best about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

Quick recovery with no reliance on tape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

Limited to only 256 snapshots per volume.

Snapshots are taken and stored on the same volume, if users delete large amount of data without coordinating with the storage team, it could cause the active file system to run out of storage and lead to an outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great underlying technology, but could use a catalog and a good centralized management interface"

4/5

What do you like best about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

Very efficient snapshot and mirroring technologies. This helps taking more recovery points without affecting storage performance and capacity. It also has wide range of applictions supported. So for a app development or a dba its reduces a burde on running frequent dumps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetApp Backup and Recovery?

Depending on what you are using, it becomes very complicated to manage. There is no centralized catalog or an easy to use single pane of glass management. FlexClone is a great technology, but without a catalog and an orchestration layer it makes it very difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetApp Backup and Recovery:

Different customers have different requirements. This is ideal for fast short term recovery. Als consider other options for longer term archival requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NetApp Backup and Recovery solving and how is that benefiting you?
