Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Technical support is good."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to implement and configure, easy to use, and really reliable."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The product provides a good storage space."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"The security and reporting could be improved."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform faces challenges when it comes to features like deduplication and compression. Enabling these features can lead to processor overload, resulting in performance degradation, especially under high loads."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
