We performed a comparison between Hitachi Content Platform and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging."
"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."
"The Hitachi Content Platform is a stable and reliable solution."
"Feature-wise, it has a lot of features. The most valuable features include de-duplication, encryption, version controlling, support, and tamper-proof data."
"The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"The product provides the fastest technology."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"We are using Content Platform for data migration, and it integrates with our HNS platform. This is good because we can integrate it with our existing HNS and SAP solutions. The GUI is also user-friendly. It doesn't take much time to do anything. If we know the architecture and the steps, we can do what we need with a few clicks."
"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the capacity for integration with other platforms."
"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."
"The user interface isn't as user-friendly, and the management platform UI isn't as intuitive as others. So it can be more user-friendly."
"At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command."
"The solution could use more integration with clouds."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"Security is an area for improvement. When there are vulnerabilities, there needs to be a faster approval process. The solution needs to automatically target the vulnerabilities and not waste too much time."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
