We have several of the NetApp products and they all fit very well together in our environment. We use E-Series for deep and cheap storage and FAS and Solidfire for our Citrix and VM Farms
No cohesive management system between the products. Although this is true the systems provide enough management analysis for our needs
Although the cost can be high, the storage is very sound and provides us with what we need I would recommend this to any one looking for enterprise storage.
We use NetApp for our Enterprise storage and ar now close to 1 pedibyte of data

The GUI is very nice and easy to understand even for someone who's not used to of using NetApp Backup solution.
It's very slow. When you click something on the GUI, it takes lot of time to process the request. Moreover, some packages have lot of dependencies when installing on Linux.
Try this in presence of vendors from NetApp first. You might need to understand some basic stuff before using it on your own.
As compared to Symantec Backup, NetApp backup solution is easy to use.
