Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable feature is its speed."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is the platform and overall usage has been good. We have not had very many issues."
"The feature I like best is the stability of the hardware."
"The product offers high stability."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"I would like to see Hitachi improve their management software. It's been three years since they introduced Ops Center, their management product, and it still hasn't reached at least 50 percent of the capability we require. We are using legacy software because the product Hitachi offers does not stack up in functionality."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
