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."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"What I like best about Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is that it's a fast storage solution. It also has reliable models. The sales support is also good for this product. Even the pricing for it is good."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"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 Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"This solution is resilient."
"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."
"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."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"The installation procedure it a bit difficult, because it is a high-end solution. With this type of product, the original company is interested in doing the setup for customers in the area, but because of sanctions we were not able to get support in our area. We faced many issued trying to learn to run this product."
"The initial deployment was somewhat complex when it came to the installation because of the network connectivity. It was more difficult, in this specific case, than with other platforms."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"The complex setup, ease of use, and snapshot operations of this product need to be improved."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to 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."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"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."
