We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"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."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"One-click setup is a valuable feature because it allows us to set up a server automatically with a single click."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"The scalability is great."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"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."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"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."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"It would be great if it could emulate some of the features that their competitor VMware has, for example port mirroring or Netflow output at hypervisor level."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
