Overall Satisfaction with NetApp Cloud Insights

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.
  • Collecting data from a large number of devices without requiring an agent.
  • Connecting various devices together through queries and dashboards.
  • Providing new ways to look at your system as a whole.
  • Reports are very complex.
  • Extremely helpful and supportive professional resources
  • Reports are very complex.
  • There are ways that the application feature landing page could be designed to be more useful.
  • Saved hours of downtime and resource allication.
  • Prevented outages.
  • Pinpointed failing sfps.
The Cloud Insights team has been with us the whole way. Helping us to set it up, build good dashboards and reports, and train us on how to make it successful in our environment. Anytime I call or request a meeting, they are immediately responsive. Without their team, we would not have the success we have.

I have been extremely happy with its usability. You can take thins as they are out of the box and it is useful. You can carry it as far as you want to go and every step you take improves your ROI.
Once you install the acquisition unit and start collecting data, you can immediately begin using it. It is very self-explanatory and helpful. I could have used Cloud Insights without working with the NetApp Cloud Insights support team. I am glad I engaged them though. They helped me carry Cloud Insights to a new level and it fast-tracked the process that would have taken me time to complete.
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.
