NetApp BlueXP vs. NetApp SnapMirror

NetApp Cloud Data Sense (Cloud Compliance) is an AI algorithm that improves the way you interact with your data. We have used Cloud Compliance and it is effective and suited in Automatic discovery, mapping, and classification of all data. It simplifies discovery, classification, and labeling with powerful automation. It gives an accurate list of data sources, has a great analysis feature. We also used it to handle data in discernment. Cloud Compliance is appropriate and effective in all professional tech settings, from SBO to high industrial performance.

It is fantastic for disaster recovery. We've used it in DR tests for years and it just works. This is the primary reason I can think of why a company would use this feature set.

• The volume size on the destination partner always has to be bigger than the source. This can get annoying. Not sure if they have made this automatic in future releases.
• When you break a SnapMirror to use the destination volume you have to redirect all requests to the new volume. This isn't really a con but it is something you need to think about.

Very well versed and a good product to deal with downtime to recover from the failure is pretty good. Also, NetApp's engagement on Incident calls is very professional and humble. I would give a 100% rating to this product as I have been working on this for the past 5 years. It is stable, fast and highly reliable

It just works 99% of the time. Even if there's a network outage, jobs just pick up after the outage is over. The only reason it's not a 10 is the weakness of the GUI interface for configuration. For me, all configuration has to be done at the command line.

NetApp support has always been great. With the NetApp Auto-support system/web portal, the visibility into your NetApp storage is incredible. There have been times when I've been contacted by them for an issue that I haven't even discovered yet. For example, I received a call 20 minutes after a drive failed in our filer. I hadn't checked my email at that time and therefore didn't see the alert.

In contrast to others, NetApp Cloud Data Sense is driven by more powerful AI algorithms that have given space for efficient automated controls and reporting that enables users full privilege over their data. The automatic discovery is trusted, with maps and data classification. Then others analyze well, structured and unstructured data in the cloud, also visualize data better.

We originally had an EMC storage device. We had quickly outgrown the device and looked for alternatives. We were drawn to NetApp because of the great software solution surrounding it. We had been using a combination of backup solutions previously combining the Dell EMC box with Backup Exec and a tape library. NetApp replaced all of that nicely. No more tapes. Seamless replication no only locally but also to a remote location.
