"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"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."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk.

The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."

"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"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."
