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 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."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"The feature I like best is the stability of the hardware."
"The performance was decent."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The solution remains stable across versions."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"The solution is easy to use and the pricing is affordable."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The tool is simple, stable, and easy to upgrade. It also requires few resources to manage, which simplifies our work. The solution's ease of upgrading is its valuable feature. AHV, provided by Nutanix, is excellent in performance and ease of use. It's based on an open-source product called KVM, which I also use for other services."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"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."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"Make it easier to manage."
