Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage.
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The feature I like best is the stability of the hardware."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"The performance was decent."
"VIOLIN QV2020 is the latest in terms of performance. It has high-speed data access and processing capabilities, distinguishing it as a leader in its storage solutions category."
"It’s simple to use hardware to fix performance issues. Our issue is poor coding/queries. This greatly speeded things up. It’s too costly to track down poor programming in applications. The price of a developer’s time to scan through all the coding is high compared to buying Violin."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"Automation could be simplified."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"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."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform faces challenges when it comes to features like deduplication and compression. Enabling these features can lead to processor overload, resulting in performance degradation, especially under high loads."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"The initial setup was difficult, as we don't have access to assistance. We had some issues around configuration. We needed to know things like what kind of rate is the best, or what kind of replication is ideal. We had to seek out answers online to get the information we needed."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"VIMM replacement is poorly designed. You have to slide out an entire drawer, remove the cover and then pop out the failed VIMM. I would like to see a front replacement just like with hard disks. This leaves room for error; for example, when you slide it out from the rack, you are moving cables along the cable management arm. This leaves the possibility of accidentally unplugging a cable from the array if it is not seated properly. Also, you might pinch the cables when sliding it back into the server rack."
"I set up Wi-Fi for storage, and since then, we haven't experienced any interruptions in service."
