"Great for backups"

Pros: SnapCenter was great for a transition to another data center. It was fast and easy for us to transfer all of our data.

Cons: Our storage filled with change logs and stopped backing up without any notification.

"Amazing Product!"

Overall: Love it!!! Great product and NetApp support .

Pros: Very easy to setup and configure. Oracle and Exchange are both straightforward. Created explicit resource groups and they’re all taking very quick filer sided snapshots. About to bring SQL under SC control. Make sure you upgrade to v4.3.1P1 as it gets past the Oracle Java plugin Issue and the Exchange token schedule issue. Happy Snapping!

Cons: Need AQoS PowerShell scripting help. Also more additional plugin help.

Reasons for Choosing SnapCenter: NetApps own filer sided snapshot product

"Snapcenter deployment"

Overall: Overall it has been a great improvement over the previous DFM/Snapmanager system.

Pros: We recently moved much of our replication orchestration to Snapcenter from previous offerings. It has been an easy transition and has provided an increase in functionality. The interface is clean and easy to use.

Cons: When any advanced settings are required it involves editing complex configuration files. We needed to open a case just to understand how to do it.
