Data workflows have become automated and unified while support and security still need improvement
There are times when you are streaming and trying to connect that CData Sync fails. However, the team has been very helpful. There is a particular technical support person that has usually come to my aid whenever there are issues. For improvement, I think the turnaround time for support can increase, especially on weekends. I want to discuss the security of CData Sync. It is not something I actually have visibility to, but I think if CData Sync could give users the opportunity to put their own security layer on this, that would be beneficial. If CData Sync is compromised, who do we hold responsible? So security is an area for improvement. CData Sync's interface is good. For integration with other tools, I think CData Sync could do well by integrating with other providers, especially AI agents so that one can easily integrate CData Sync to more agents out there.

Offers useful replication tools with potential for faster support responses
In my opinion, the best features of Hitachi TrueCopy include its ability to act similarly to a snapshot from any disk, from any LUN, and for fast data copying from production to test. We use Hitachi TrueCopy and Thin Image. Hitachi TrueCopy allows us to transfer data from one storage to another, for example, when we buy new storage, we transfer data, LUNs, and disks from one storage to another, and we also use Hitachi TrueCopy to transfer data from one site to another site. We transfer data through iSCSI. The Hitachi TrueCopy ability to customize replication strategies is a very useful tool for replication.

Cons

"There are times when you are streaming and trying to connect that CData Sync fails."
"In the area of improvements, within 20 days I would say that if there were a feature where I could add the transformation upfront itself, that would be great."
"I rate it an eight because it can improve on the pricing angle as well as the betterment of storage configuration."
"Technical support is indeed an area for improvement; Hitachi has very good hardware and the equipment is good, but the support and management monitoring are not as robust as IMC, IBM, and HP."
