"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"Huawei OceanStor provides numerous features that are tailored to cater to the requirements of all types of companies."
"Great value for money."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"We need better data deduplication."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In terms of what could be improved, it could use a better, faster web console and other consoles. It is so boring waiting, waiting and waiting for it to refresh."
"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 snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"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 solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
