We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The solution provides excellent scalability."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The product provides a good storage space."
"The performance was decent."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"The performance is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"This solution is resilient."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"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 deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
