Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."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."
"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."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The efficiency ratio is just as high as advertised. It's very high relative to other storage solutions as well. The compression and deduplication capabilities are also very high."
"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."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"There is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution."
"The initial setup was difficult, as we don't have access to assistance. We had some issues around configuration. We needed to know things like what kind of rate is the best, or what kind of replication is ideal. We had to seek out answers online to get the information we needed."
"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."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
