There are many things that i love about snapmirror its hard to pick where to start. First, the ease of use for setup. Second, the natural integration into flex-clone technology for testing your snapmirror without breaking the mirror itself. The integration through powershell API's, the list could go on. This is by far the best native solution for shipping your data between netapps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly haven't found much that I haven't liked. I think the only thing I didn't care for at first was some of Netapp's online documentation was a little sparser that I would have liked, but after my first insight conference, I got what I really needed to understand it properly. So it was mostly a user issue, but it would be nice to flesh out the documentation a bit better, imo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout of the GUI, especially the networking tabs, is fabulous. It has been organized in such a way that is very straightforward and easy to navigate. The utility of the features for CIFS & NFS make creating Windows shares hosted directly from the array a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For CIFS shares when you click "Stop Sharing" it actually deletes all of the share settings and disappears - this was an unwelcome surprise, as the description is not indicative of such an irreversible action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Snapmirror is simple to use and provides BCDR capabilities from a single pane of glass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its difficult to provide a dislike for an enterprise grade replication capability - nothing, it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runs on all FAS filers and can also be a virtual appliance. It's versatility with multiple protocols such as NFS, CIFS, iSCSI and FibreChannel make it a very powerful product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a bit of a learning curve to know what options do what, but most things can be done from the GUI. The command line is difficult but very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once set up properly, it works great and is very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Making changes is not intuitive, and near impossible to do correctly. It is easier to set up a totally new instance, but then all of the data needs to be transferred again, which is aggravating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
