We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and HPE Primera based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The performance is very good."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"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 product provides a good storage space."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Primera's main advantage is its support for NVM drives and normal flash drives. It has some sort of AI analysis that automatically tells us how to optimize the performance."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."
"The product has better replication features than the previous products."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"HPE Primera is scalable."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"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."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"We've encountered issues in the past where maintaining a read-only state is essential to prevent data encryption when VPN access is impacted."
"The cost of HPE Primera could be lower."
"The pricing is very high."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"The reporting console can be improved with out of the box reports."
