Product Summary
Use Cases
- Application-consistent backup for enterprise workloads: With SnapCenter, NetApp enables end-to-end storage protection across your data estate.
- Independent backup: The NetApp Snapshot (available in BlueXP backup) copies, replicates, and remotely backs up copies locally, on another ONTAP system, or separately from the ONTAP cluster.
- Integrations: StorageGRID integrates with NetApp Cloud Data Sense and other third-party applications.
Shortcomings
- Performance: According to some G2 users, NetApp can slow down when processing multiple requests simultaneously.
- Learning curve: Some G2 users have stated that the platform can be hard to learn and master, especially for beginner IT personnel.
- Better suited for larger organizations: NetApp typically requires a larger commitment from IT enterprises in terms of both deployment and ongoing management.
Why your peers choose NinjaOne over NetApp
While NetApp offers robust data protection capabilities tailored for large-scale enterprise environments, many IT pros and MSPs choose NinjaOne Backup for its simplicity, speed, and integrated experience. As seen, NetApp uses a multi-product approach which requires users to combine tools like SnapCenter, BlueXP, and StorageGRID to receive comprehensive backup coverage. Conversely, NinjaOne provides a unified platform that streamlines backup, recovery, and compliance across endpoints, servers, and SaaS applications without console sprawl or added complexity.
NinjaOne Backup offers cloud-based backup and storage to safeguard business-critical data, from laptops to virtual servers. As such, NinjaOne appeals to organizations looking for a modern, policy-driven solution that is easy to deploy, intuitive to use, and optimized for lean IT teams or service providers.

NinjaOne vs. NetApp FAQs
How does NetApp compare to NinjaOne?
NetApp provides a powerful suite of backup and storage tools designed for large enterprises with complex, hybrid infrastructures. Its solutions like SnapCenter, BlueXP, and StorageGRID offer robust capabilities, but often require significant configuration, infrastructure, and expertise to deploy and manage effectively.
In contrast, NinjaOne offers a simplified, all-in-one platform that combines endpoint, server, and cloud-based backup into a single interface. With built-in automation and fast recovery, NinjaOne is ideal for IT teams and MSPs seeking an efficient, policy-driven solution without the overhead of managing multiple tools or storage layers.
Which is easier to set up: NetApp or NinjaOne?
NinjaOne is designed for rapid deployment, with a cloud-native architecture that eliminates the need for complex infrastructure or lengthy configurations. IT enterprises and MSPs can start protecting Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and endpoint data within minutes and with minimal configuration.
In contrast, NetApp’s setup often involves provisioning storage systems, configuring ONTAP environments, and integrating multiple tools like SnapCenter or BlueXP, making it better suited for enterprises with dedicated storage administrators and longer implementation timelines.
Does NetApp or NinjaOne offer better integration with IT service workflows?
NinjaOne offers deeper integration with IT service workflows by unifying backup, endpoint management, patching, remote support, and ticketing within a single platform. This unified approach streamlines day-to-day operations, enabling IT teams and MSPs to monitor, protect, and support devices and cloud data without switching tools.
While NetApp provides powerful data protection solutions, its focus remains on storage and backup infrastructure, with limited native integration into broader IT service management workflows or end-user support tasks.
