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 setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"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."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"I am happy about the storage system and availability."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard and interface."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good."
"One-click setup is a valuable feature because it allows us to set up a server automatically with a single click."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"It is very easy to clone systems using the solution."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"Nutanix has several unique capabilities to ensure linear scalability."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"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."
"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."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"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 deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"Usually, there are separate administration teams that take care of servers, but in our organization, servers are usually looked after by the application owner. However, the application owners cannot reinstall the software, OS, and other things. That only aligns with the role of the HCI administrator. If these rights can be provided, it will be very easy."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"Nutanix needs to improve network features like Passthrough – SR-IOV. It could be improved by supporting SR-IOV, if they had that support, I would not have needed to implement the VMWare vSAN."
