We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL], IBM System Storage DS8000 Series, and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The high throughput feature is the most powerful thing in this product."
"The Global Copy and Global Mirror features are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"This solution is resilient."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The GUI isn't as user-friendly as other options."
"The solution should embedded replication switches into the hardware instead of using them externally."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
