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 solution is very reliable."
"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 predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"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 valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"One of the features, for us, that is important is the monitoring platform integrated into the solution. It has all the elements that we need to see, at all times, to be sure the platform is working right."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"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."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
