We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"The Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
