"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"Companies can scale the solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection."

We have to automate maintenance so any onsite engineer can replace it after that, but we don't need to do this on VSP platforms. An engineer can come in and replace that specific disk. If also we could do that on Hitachi Content Platform, it would be great for us."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"The user interface isn't as user-friendly, and the management platform UI isn't as intuitive as others. So it can be more user-friendly."
