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, Dell Technologies, IBM and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"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 most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"The performance was decent."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The product offers high stability."
"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform faces challenges when it comes to features like deduplication and compression. Enabling these features can lead to processor overload, resulting in performance degradation, especially under high loads."
"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."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"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."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
