We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 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 performance is very good."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The feature I like best is the stability of the hardware."
"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 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."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"The efficiency ratio is just as high as advertised. It's very high relative to other storage solutions as well. The compression and deduplication capabilities are also very high."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"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."
"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."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"The complex setup, ease of use, and snapshot operations of this product need to be improved."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"Hitachi should launch some small machines in Brazil. The smallest machine here in Brazil is VSP 350, which can be quite big for some of the customers. In China, Hitachi has small models of this equipment, but those models are not available in our region. Its pricing is a big issue for us. We are resellers, and we face some competition from other vendors. Hitachi doesn't always have a good position in terms of the price. Its user interface is also not as good as some of the other competitors, and it can be improved."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"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."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"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."
