Data Virtuality Platform vs. NetApp SnapMirror

Data Virtuality Platform's best and most unique feature is
that it is SQL-based, giving us flexibility when working with our data that
other marketing integration pipeline tools couldn't provide. Our main benefits
are the short time it takes to connect to our data sources and the flexibility
of the virtual SQL layer to meet our end users' data needs. It paves the way
for us to tap into various data repositories, extract the data contained
within, and examine it. It allows us to access information, generate actionable
reports, and make data-driven decisions. However, inadequate data governance
rules and a complex configuration process make data connectors challenging.

NetApp SnapMirror is a no-brainer when it comes to retaining an offsite backup for disaster recovery purposes. The backbone of the product is the Snapshot technology built into NetApp technology. In my experience, the Snapshot/SnapMirror software has been flawless and very dependable. The only piece that I can see adding in the future is potentially connecting SnapMirror to the cloud as an additional backup destination.

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

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.

Over the years we have transitioned to NetApp SnapMirror for all our storage needs. However, due to the short life cycle of support, it is cost prohibitive to maintain after support is ended. The main reason we have liked NetApp SnapMirror due to the many options and standardized management capabilities and flexible options for provisioning and setup of storage.
