User Testimonials
	AWS Snow Family	NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS I can say it is appropriate in many ways, like the data transfer and the migration part. The generations in the AWS snow family are also helpful in choosing the right one based on the amount of data and budget aspects. Moreover, it was well suited for use in migrating bulk amounts of data. The surveillance part is a bit drawback for us, and now its ok, and we are good with it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NetApp NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP was well suited to begin our journey to cloud storage as a service. The ease and intuitiveness of the product to enable our administrators to design, configure, and deploy the storage in a hybrid cloud environment was instrumental to the success and the early adoption of the service.

Pros	Amazon AWS Data migration. Transfer speed. Performance. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NetApp Simplicity Flexibility Cost savings Incentivized Randy Carpenter Vice President Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	NetApp More competitive pricing at lower volumes of storage Make it possible to manage storage across hybrid and multiple cloud environments Incentivized Bill Floyd CIO/CTO Read full review
Support Rating	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	NetApp We utilized NetApp remote Professional Services to assist in our deployment and also engaged support since the deployment for assistance regarding some networking concerns. NetApp support was surprisingly quick to reply and very proactive in resolving our concerns much quicker than other support personnel from many of our other vendors we use. No complaints about NetApp support at this time. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS Actually, we have used both the AWS Database Migration Service and AWS snow family's snowmobile, and we have a lot of experience with both migration parts. But the one we choose the best is the AWS snow family. Among these, it really works like something to migrate all the existing data to AWS servers in a very short span. Moreover, the accuracy of the data transfer is 100%. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NetApp ScienceLogic SL1 and SolarWinds Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) were the closest competitors to meeting our business objectives. Tivoli Storage Manager was not able to meet the initial requirements. There was a significant overlap of capabilities between ScienceLogic SL1, SolarWinds SRM, and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. The latter provided a more positive and cohesive experience for our administrators and executives. Incentivized Gary Slebrch Director of Enterprise IT Read full review
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS No negative impact. No unforeseen conditions that impact ROI. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NetApp Not really any noticeable impact yet We are utilizing the free tier that is provided as a promotion with current systems It remains to be seen if it will continue to be enough value to renew the subscription Incentivized Randy Carpenter Vice President Read full review
