Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product provides the fastest technology.""Companies can scale the solution.""The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection.""Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product.""Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging.""The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users.""The Hitachi Content Platform is a stable and reliable solution.""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."

"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain.""The technology is stable which is good."

More Quantum ActiveScale Pros →

Cons
"The solution could use more integration with clouds.""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.""What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems.""The only thing is that it should be more cost effective.""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.""There is room for improvement in the capacity for integration with other platforms.""At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command.""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."
