NetApp Cloud Insights Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NetApp Cloud Insights to help us map out our infrastructure by mapping resources to applications. It helps us rapidly narrow in on problems and pinpoints the technology causing the issue. CI helps prevent finger-pointing between departments during war room sessions. We also use it to find anomalies before they turn into problems. We have used it to eliminate waste in our environment by locating wasted resources in systems that are no longer in service.

Likelihood to Recommend

For example, we had an application slowdown. It looked like the slowdown was storage. However, it was a malformed SQL query that no one realized was pulling data from the storage location that also housed the application. Cloud Insights saved us hours of downtime and frustration. Cloud Insights pinpointed which system was hogging resources. What makes Cloud Insights special is the way it looks at the data collected from the data sources. The insights it provides into the flow of data; sheds new light on how things work in your environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

NetApp Cloud Insights is being used by a few important quarters of our organization that includes IT, Telecom Engineering, RF Optimization, and PMO departments. It has served its purpose well to effectively manage and optimize our organization's cloud resources and workflows. The alerts generated by Cloud Insights keep the systems checked and helps our Engineers to act proactively against any security threats and anomalous user behaviors. We have used it mainly to reduce IT resource loss and optimizing the overall network capabilities of the organization.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights is meant to make your resources well optimized and cloud data integrated. It has great capabilities to monitor broad-based data and workflows generated on the entire network of a big organization and keep the resources intact for smooth operations. Very well suited for the organizations that highly rely on the IT services in the cloud and have to spend a major chunk of their budgetary costs on such services.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Insights is used to monitor all of our infrastructure and applications. It is used by the organization to secure data from various threats our industry is surrounded by. It solves the problem of resource management and data threats. We can troubleshoot and optimize all the resources. It performs third-party audits, which leads to finding problems as early as possible.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights is well suited for cloud service platform. It is a very secure service, as large amounts of data can be placed in it and it is secured from any false activities from outside. Resource management and problem solving are other important features. Data reporting (i.e. creating and modifying reports) is somehow a difficult tasks to perform, which can be improved.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am working as a software developer and we are developing cloud-native applications in Kubernetes. We are using Cloud Insights very often to monitor our microservice deployments. Being able to view all of our microservices running in Kubernetes clusters that we host on more than one cloud platform on a single panel makes the monitoring job very easy for us.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights can be a good solution for you if the resources used by the development team that need monitoring are located in more than one public cloud platform or data center.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Insights is a product used by our DevOps team. We use Cloud Insights to completely monitor and optimize the public cloud computing system we have in AWS and GCP. The service definitely saves us time and helps us quickly spot problems and take actions that we would normally miss.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would be highly likely to recommended Cloud Insights to a colleague. It is definitely a successful product in optimizing costs, especially for companies with small DevOps and infrastructure teams. In such small organizations, the importance given to cloud products can lead to serious financial problems in the long run. Using Cloud Insights, it is very easy to optimize costs even with a much smaller team.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We monitor our servers, applications to make sure SLA not breached so basically infrastructure monitoring will be the best description.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights continuously monitors our cloud infrastructure to analyze costs so we can identify and take action on resources to save money and optimize operation much better. Without this visibility it is tough to manage the infrastructure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Insights is used by our team. Easy in terms of implementation and also provides a great learning curve. You need to establish some skills to create reports. Otherwise it is easy to use in terms of basic functionality. The whole infrastructure has become very transparent so monitoring and troubleshooting have become way more easier.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited in case of cloud infrastructure management in terms of troubleshooting, monitoring and optimising the resources. You can easily create reports and graphs to find out what’s going on your cloud storage. It’s a bit complicated in terms of advanced features usage but there is this customer and community support which can help you learn much more.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cloud Insights is being used within the IT department of our organization. Cloud Insights gives us insight into the various cloud infrastructures we have running internally or when we require insight into the performance of the cloud infrastructures for customers. The cloud has only accelerated the complexity of our infrastructure and Cloud Insights helps in creating an overview in our complex environments.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cloud Insights is suited very well for more complex environments, which can run in multi-vendor cloud environments. Cloud Insights is very well suited to creating a single point of contact which creates insight over multiple environments. It is less appropriate in smaller environments, for example, a single-environment cloud or on-premises situations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<div>We use [Cloud Insights] primarily to look at both performance and security around our NetApp Filers. We are expanding it to use it with our virtualized environment and with our in-house storage environments. It's a SaaS solution hosted by NetApp.</div><div>

Likelihood to Recommend

The main benefit of NetApp Cloud Insights is that it's agentless. It just collects information from the SNMP protocol. We had NetApp ONTAP installed and we paired with VMware. The biggest challenge for any company is to find the bottleneck on the Edge of the technologies, like between VMware and NetApp. Both products have great reporting and monitoring tools, but whenever it comes to finding issues on the Edge between those products, you can hardly identify whether it's a storage issue or whether it's a virtualization issue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The big thing about [Cloud Insights] is the visibility in our data. More importantly, it is all in this tool. No matter what it is. It could be our cloud data, our reporting servers, or every single data transformation table that we have. The tool is specifically used to diagnose problems in moving data around.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Cloud Insights] is easily well suited for finding problems extremely quickly. With how fast data is received nowadays, the faster that problems with the data are realized, the smaller the impact to the organization.

If you're looking for full report customization, this tool isn't going to be much use. However, that is not the bread and butter of what this tool is.
