I have recently decided to deploy DataIQ (because my InsightIQ instance took a nose dive during an attempted upgrade and ruined the database) and I'm trying to understand how I can find parity between the two products.

The Storage Monitoring section seems to be pretty analogous to what came before it, albeit a little harder to navigate through.

The Data Management section is much more generic, and obviously aimed at a much wider audience, and non-Dell storage, which is great but it has its downsides; the Isilon/PowerScale FileSystemAnalytics job seems now to be absolutely redundant, which is a shame, because it was able to use the whole cluster to traverse the file system, rather than just having the single DataIQ system audit an entire cluster.

At the moment, I think I plan to just setup an export in my System zone to walk the majority of my /ifs tree where my user data resides.

Has anyone who has deployed DataIQ got any feedback, gotcha's or advice to share on what you wish you'd known in advance?
