(Original )Information
What do you like best about SnapMirror Data Replication?

Snapmirror replicates (snapshot data) at very high speed over the LAN or WAN, thus providing very high data availability and fast disaster recovery for our Tier 1 business-critical applications.

Implementing the solution is easy and most important it is stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface lacks which makes chances for mistakes. But using command line gives us edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SnapMirror Data Replication:

In addition to NetApp Snapmirror we are using Dell Islion for snapshot replication. There are other vendors in markets but snapmirror is one of the old and gold replication method for NetApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SnapMirror Data Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have created different volumes and qtrees for mirroring data from NetApp storage systems and continually updating the mirrored data to keep it current and secure to use this mirrored data for multiple purposes like snapshots, DR failover, restore or any sort of recovery, if required.

The solution is stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SnapMirror Data Replication?

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.

What do you dislike about SnapMirror Data Replication?

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.

Recommendations to others considering SnapMirror Data Replication:

As with all technologies, look at what your options are out there, but seriously consider using Snap Mirror. It is a beautiful technology that is simple to use while providing excellent business benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SnapMirror Data Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a very low RTO and RPO for all of our CIFS and NFS shares through use of snapmirror. In our main datacenter we have all of our file shares hosted by the netapp itself, and then we snapmirror all of that data out to our DR site. The snapmirror keeps us in sync natively and helps us know that our data is always synced and fresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SnapMirror Data Replication?

I like that it is simple to set up from the GUI, extremely stable and reliable and that it integrates with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SnapMirror Data Replication?

I don't like that you can't see how much data is left to transfer during sync. You can't see anything from the GUI besides lag time, and you need to go to the CLI to even see how much data has been transferred so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SnapMirror Data Replication:

Be aware that the frequency of your replication intervals and user behavior can drastically impact the amount of bandwidth used by SnapMirror. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SnapMirror Data Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the need for our data to be replicated to our DR site and for VMware SRM to be able to map over the top of this replication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SnapMirror Data Replication?

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

What do you dislike about SnapMirror Data Replication?

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.

What problems is SnapMirror Data Replication solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were able to achieve a reliable, albeit single recovery point, backup off-site from our office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
