"At the moment, I don't see any room for improvement in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series because my experience with the product is very good. The software is okay and you can manage the storage well. What I'd like to see in the next release of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is for it to be a real NAS solution because right now, you need to use a Hitachi converter called HNAS which makes the process a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, Hitachi should look into the possibility of unifying the HNAS into full storage, meaning that the HNAS should be integrated into the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."

"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"The complex setup, ease of use, and snapshot operations of this product need to be improved."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
