"Hitachi is reliable with high availability and solid performance. It performs well regardless of the workload."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is very stable."
"NetApp has really added a lot of features over the years to improve the product and performance. They can do things now like control ingress. They can control egress."
"Very stable and very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of NetApp Private Storage is out-of-the-box integration with the SAN switches. They are much easier compared to Dell solutions. Additionally, the connector that comes with the solution that allows connection back to the Cisco SAN switches is very good. In Dell, I would need to use an FCIP or CIP port that is required."
"NetApp has its own dedicated operating system, so it will not be affected by any wireless piggybacking or malware. That's the beauty of NetApp's operating system."
"The solution scales well."
"Integration with other NetApp solutions and merging them is manageable."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"At the moment, we are extensively using SnapMirror."
"The monitoring tool is not well developed."

"I would like to see the GUI management simplified in the next release."
"I'm not sure how easy it is to use on the cloud versus on-prem. If they have different user experiences, they should work to make the two as similar as possible to make it easy for a user to understand both even if they only deal mainly with one."
"I think that it should work better with Microsoft solutions, more integrated with Microsoft. We also need integrated NAS and block storage."
"It is not the fastest storage solution."
"The solution could improve by having better support experts. For example, they do not have clear instructions on configuration."
"We had to write a number of custom tools or scripts ourselves to use it as a staging area between our on-premises datacenter and our cloud installation."
"The hardware does not last as long as it could with new software."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It has been a problem for our team."
