Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The product offers high stability."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"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."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"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."
"The scalability, performance, and licensing model are the most valuable features."
"It allows us to have a cloud-based ecosystem."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"Ease of deployment"
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"There is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution."
"Regarding third-party backup solutions, the only agentless option is Commvault, which is expensive, complex, and requires intensive vendor training."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
"The one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
