Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"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."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"The performance is very good."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"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."
"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."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"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 deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"The complex setup, ease of use, and snapshot operations of this product need to be improved."
