    HVR is a real-time replication tool, if you want to centralize your database to cloud in order to provide the best services to your clients or end-users then HVR plays a vital role. multiple sources such as on-premises and cloud databases need to be combined or out together on cloud for creating a centralized warehouse then HVR is very much useful as a replication tool. HVR is a very robust tool.

    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.

    • Pro: Stability in storage we have had these in place for 3 years and besides a failed disk, there have been no issues.
    • Pro: Replication options are pretty good
    • Pro: Storage Provisioning as well as a wealth of features that are an additional add-on for competitors
    • Cons: Support is lacking in customer service and being proactive of system alerts and errors
    • Cons: the Learning curve. Easy to make mistakes using the user interface as it does lack functionality.

    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.

    HVR was cost-efficient to us compare to other tools also we had a demo with our data and found out that HVR's performance is much better when replicating data from SAP to Snowflake compare to any other tool. A huge volume of data can be handled very easily. Also, the connectivity with the number of sources to pull the data is very good and they are continuously adding more sources.

    We chose NetApp's SnapMirror solution primarily because it was already integrated and licensed on our storage platforms. This allowed us to have a very fast implementation time and really allowed us to quickly close the learning gap of our administrators. Not only is NetApp SnapMirror easy to use, but it is also really easy to set up. IBM's product seemed quite difficult to set up and it would have taken our team much more time (which we don't have) to learn that product than NetApp's SnapMirror.
