We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Technical support has been amazing."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"We understand that they're thinking about it, but one of the things that would be nice is if they added some basic file-level capabilities to the platform. The idea is that they would run a basic NFS or CIF share from the controllers. FlashBlade is the powerhouse for File and Object storage, but if you don't need all that power, a lightweight file function would make FlashArrays more versatile."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"The file functionality could be better."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
