We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides excellent scalability."
"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."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"The technical support is great."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, integrates with other hardware configurations, and is simple to manage."
"The interface is very good. Before we used this solution, we had separate storage and switches, but with the hyper convert, it's all in one."
"The most valuable feature would be the ease of deployment. That is the most significant feature for me because I've worked with multiple vendors and it's always been very complicated to install the software and get everything running."
"This operating system offers stability. Setup is straightforward."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"One major thing that comes up again and again is stability. Our downtime is literally based on hardware upgrades that need to be done. Acropolis is very, very user friendly. You don't have to physically have a super IT guy to manage the system. You can actually give it to a younger guy to manage and there won't be problems. And if he makes a mistake, it's very, very easy to fall back and sort out the mistake."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"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 controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"The initial deployment was somewhat complex when it came to the installation because of the network connectivity. It was more difficult, in this specific case, than with other platforms."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"The one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
