Likelihood to Recommend I have highly benefited from the performance of this great tool. Storage and data management programs have been running as planned since we deployed this system. Under NetApp ONTAP Data Management Software our data and customers contacts are always secure. It has helped our company in reducing storage costs as we can safely use cloud storage services. It gives us continuity guarantee even after our systems fail to function due to strong backup system.
Read full review We save a lot of money using QNAP for the backup of Virtual machines. We installed a QNAP in the datacenter of our Cloud Provider and the cost of the backup and storage that we use is, at least, 1/10 of the cost that we had in the past. We can choose what kind of drives we can install, so if we want affordable we can use 5400/7200 hard drives, if we need speed we can use SSD drives.

Data transportation and the real-time data analytics, this tool is the best ever. Data threats Protection capability is amazing. Read full review Management interface is very useful Quick solutions can be produced with flexible storage pools It can create a powerful customizable system on its own, along with connectivity features and add-ons. A powerful customizable system can be created with flexible connectivity features and add-ons. Advanced user management can be easily provided either in its own interface or on the domain. It can take on the role you want with its integrated modes or add-ons that you can install later. Most wonderful feature, advanced support service, we never had any unsolved problems and the support engineer was always interested, followed one to one With web, ssh, ftp, winscp connections, you can easily access in any environment. Read full review Cons More details on network interfaces are available in CLI. Would like to see similar visibility on the GUI. Deleting volumes that have been snapmirrored have to be released at the snapmirror destination first. Would be nice to have that feature at the source where you are deleting the volume. When creating a volume in the GUI it adds to the default junction point. Would be nice to choose the junction point as you were creating the volume (this is a feature available in the CLI). Read full review I can not think of any at this moment. Not a con - but security issues are due to users' negligence. Read full review Support Rating NetApp support is always second to none. That being said I have never once had to contact support for the NetApp System Manager software. It is simple, stable and easy to use. Given that their support is stellar in all other areas I don't see how this would be any different
Read full review QNAP NAS is a really good product, but I think the best part is the support for the products. Whenever I have a question or imagine something that won't happen, I can ask the support side. When the support engineer understands what I want to do, he does his best.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I have only used NetApp ONTAP Select platform in our organization in data storage and file management. It has efficiently managed all data-related problems and gives us the right roadmap of managing data from all sources effectively. Data migration from our company to the cloud storage datasets has been easy and secure. It provides reliable intelligence from all information gathered from our data sources that enhances better operations and smart decisions.
Read full review Our historical supplier was a QNAP partner so we started with them.
We resell on request also NETGEAR and Synology. Maybe is for the practice on them but we think that they are easier to use and configure.
The thing i can affirm with convinction is that are realy durable! I think i never repaired a QNAP NAS and, we resell them from about 10 years.
They have all the functionality we ever had to our customers.

With this tool we are not able to simplify the management of storage saving on resource usage across our Ops teams allowing us to focus on "more important" tasks.
