Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have been satisfied with the stability."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"It is a stable platform."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their retention logs. The other thing I have found most valuable is the way they handle the BHEA. Basically the DNS and everything is managed by itself. It is seamless to the users."
"One of the most hidden valuable features is ensuring that you don't have bit rot, so it will go and check every single object that's stored on the system, then ensure that if there's a problem, it'll be repaired from either a local copy or remote copy, depending upon your configuration."
"The Hitachi Content Platform is a stable and reliable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection."
"The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"The product provides the fastest technology."
"Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"The setup is very complex."
"Dell EMC ECS could improve by having Relational Database Services(RDS) to review progress. Additionally, if the training was provided it would be a benefit, it would be good for our engineers."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The solution could use more integration with clouds."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command."
"This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved."
"When you want to replace a disk, we need to start the maintenance from the S nodes. We have to automate maintenance so any onsite engineer can replace it after that, but we don't need to do this on VSP platforms. An engineer can come in and replace that specific disk. If also we could do that on Hitachi Content Platform, it would be great for us."
"Two things that can be improved are pricing and configuration. Mostly the pricing is an issue. And if I were to add anything, I would say more integration with backup solutions such as Veeam Backup."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems."
