Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"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."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
