We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and HPE Primera based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"There was a dramatic improvement in operating costs just as a result of the environmentals and space, let alone the cost of the unit itself."
"Technical support is good."
"It's actually very stable"
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The technical support is great."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"When taking into account the price, maintenance required, and performance of HPE Primera, it is an effective solution."
"The product is stable."
"The interface is simplified."
"The most important thing that we had found when we purchased this product around six months back was its 100% availability and uptime."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Primera's main advantage is its support for NVM drives and normal flash drives. It has some sort of AI analysis that automatically tells us how to optimize the performance."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"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."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"The IOPS and throughput could be better. That's the only drawback compared to other vendors."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"On the controller side, I would like to see NAS capabilities."
"They could work to make scalability easier."
"Increasing the IOPS and throughput values would make the product even better. Improving the scalability of HPE Primera is also recommended."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"We cannot use this storage for critical applications and data."
"The file server embedded in Pure, the GUI, and the tracking and reporting features are better with Pure Storage."
