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 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 deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"The performance is very good."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"The performance was decent."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"It consolidates our servers, and improves our electricity consumption and cooling as well."
"The most valuable features are the RBAC, role-based access control, and the reporting. NCI also provides a single platform, a single pane with a dashboard, to manage the entire infrastructure. We have complete information about overall utilization, performance, and a forecast for our platform in that single pane."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"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 software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"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."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"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 more intelligence."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface that can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I can create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
"The documentation could be improved."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
