We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Technical support is good."
"The scalability is very good and the solution is stable and reliable."
"vSAN provides default HA configurations, where if any host goes down, the VM moves around within the host. Even though the disks are local, the VMs moves around with the vSAN disk and vSAN provides a high availability on its own."
"Scalability in vSAN has been really good. It's very easy to add nodes in, to automatically generate the drives and the disk groups. It has been a piece of cake, surprisingly so."
"The most important thing is the simplicity of the product. It is a well-established product with good stability."
"VMware vSAN is compatible with the legacy hypervisor solutions and most of the features are good."
"The main advantage is that it's all in the box, with VMware vCenter Server product."
"The performance has exceeded our expectations and exceeded our traditional converged infrastructure."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"I would like to see a little bit more documentation on the initial setup, and a little bit more explanation on the expandability: How to extend out your vSAN much more simply through the console because, a lot of the time, you have to do it through the command line."
"I would have liked it to have been more scalable. It's scalable but not as much as, for example, the ScaleIO systems were or the Kaminario"
"We plan to switch products since the hardware nowadays is a little bit outdated and we need to scale up a bit."
"There are certain shortcomings in the stability of the product where improvements are required."
"The biggest room for improvement I see in vSAN is the lack of SAN connectivity. I've kind of joked around that there is no "SAN" in vSAN. And it's something that we've worked to try and introduce some options for, and we're going to continue to work towards that."
"More focus has to be put on deduplication and compression with a hybrid architecture."
"External storage would be a good thing to have in the next release, something other than iSCZI, something a little more, not HA, a little more production-oriented, than iSCZI."
"Reporting currently depends on third party applications and that could be improved."
