I’ve used as well.  I think a limiting factor is you have to have rights to the files/folders; if you have a deep/large file system, could take days to run to crawl the file system.  Yes, much cheaper then a varonis/ntp, but has some limits.  You get what you pay for.

Thanks

NTP is definitely an enterprise product. I have used this and it is even efficient to detect the type of file by looking at it in more details than just the file name extension. If there is a .mp3 stored as a .txt file, the software can detect that. It is also good around policies.

Hi Everyone,

 

I’m not exactly sure what I’m asking for, but here goes . . .

 

Does Netapp, or someone else, have analytics software that will crawl through CIFS shares and provide info on the files? Things like director sizes, storage hogs, size/number of file types, file/size per owner, etc.  In other words, software to help understand and manage files in a shares.

 

I didn’t see anything on NetApp’s web site like this.

 

Thanks

 

Rick
