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."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"The product's reliability has been crucial for our company's operations."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"The technical support is great."
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"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."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"It is easy to use. One of the things they have as a design goal is to reduce complexity and simplify things."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable feature is the flexibility to move the VMs easily, keeping everything together."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"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 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."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
"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."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
"This solution offers excellent functionality but could use a stronger interface."
"It would be great if they could improve the GUI features."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's cloud platform management software could be improved so that I can manage my load between the cloud and on-premises."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
