We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."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."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"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."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"What I like best about Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is that it's a fast storage solution. It also has reliable models. The sales support is also good for this product. Even the pricing for it is good."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"We can offer a lot more storage to our end users."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"With scalability, I have run into a little problem with our last upgrade. There were some undocumented limitations to the number of drives that our controller could run on. So, instead of putting in a new data pack as we had anticipated, we had to keep adding and removing to get up to the capacity that we needed to be. What should have been a one day process (or a few hours) turned into a month and a half process."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"It needs to improve its price."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"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."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"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 controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"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."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
