"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever.""The most valuable features are the interface and performance.""I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution.""It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology.""The interface is good, and it is also customizable.""We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems.""VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost.""This solution is resilient."

Cons
"The exterior display needs to be improved."

More Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] Cons →

"I would like to see support for high-availability.""The cluster support should be improved.""I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers.""The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement.""Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved.""I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem.""The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore.""Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
