Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The scalability is good."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"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."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"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."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"The price could be better."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"Hitachi should launch some small machines in Brazil. The smallest machine here in Brazil is VSP 350, which can be quite big for some of the customers. In China, Hitachi has small models of this equipment, but those models are not available in our region. Its pricing is a big issue for us. We are resellers, and we face some competition from other vendors. Hitachi doesn't always have a good position in terms of the price. Its user interface is also not as good as some of the other competitors, and it can be improved."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"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."
