"The pricing of this solution is good, which is an advantage that positions this product well."
"Simple and extremely reliable."
"The product has valuable features for data migration."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle a high number of users while maintaining both stability and performance."
"Hitachi is reliable with high availability and solid performance. It performs well regardless of the workload."
"The optimization features move chunklets or hot spots to faster drives."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"Its stability is the most valuable. It has soft alerts. When an alert is raised, we get a call from HP saying that there is this type of alert, and they need to do a remote session to check things. Similarly, for firmware updates, they get in touch to say that a firmware upgrade is required on your storage. They schedule a time and take control remotely to upgrade the firmware. In all such cases, there is no downtime. Everything is done when a full-fledged operation is going on. Its user interface is also quite good. We are quite accustomed to this user interface. We can easily take a look at the current usage or the amount of storage. It is quite easily understandable, and I can present those things to my seniors or other people who are not that tech-savvy, and they can easily understand what we are trying to tell them. We can easily show them that we are using around 87% of the storage, so we need to plan for another tree and things like that."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"This system has been (by far) the easiest to use, manage, and expand."
"I like that it's stable. This is the reason why we're using these products. We work in the broadcast market, and stability is very important. HPE has global services, and that's also important. Dell and HPE are some big companies, and their solutions are robust and stable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"Hitachi NAS Platform's pricing could be reduced. It is high compared to other competitors."
"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is expensive."
"I do not like Hitachi NAS because it's an old-school NAS solution, compared to the other, newer-type solutions such as Isilon from Dell or Qumulo."
"Hitachi could be more flexible and have a simpler management interface."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for cloud-connectivity to providers like AWS."
"The monitoring tool is not well developed."
"The product is quite expensive."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is at its end of life and they are forcing us to purchase new hardware. They will no longer support this solution. They should provide support for a longer time. For example, 10 years instead of five years."
