Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The performance was decent."
"The most valuable feature of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is the platform and overall usage has been good. We have not had very many issues."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The technical support is great."
"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 product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"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."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"The file functionality could be better."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better."
"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"The life-cycle of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is too short. We only had approximately four or five years out of the solution before it was rendered its end of life."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"I would like to see Hitachi improve their management software. It's been three years since they introduced Ops Center, their management product, and it still hasn't reached at least 50 percent of the capability we require. We are using legacy software because the product Hitachi offers does not stack up in functionality."
