Enrico Boseli - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Useful disaster recovery, effective copy replication, but complex deployment
The primary use of the solution is for backup and disaster recovery for medium to large size companies.  The solution's most valuable features are copy replication, instant recovery, and disaster recovery. The solution could be adapted to fit other use cases for smaller companies.…
PrashantSoni - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at VarniTech Solution Pvt. Ltd.
It simplifies managing large volumes of data and the support is prompt
I rate Hitachi Data Instance Director 10 out of 10. I would recommend it depending on your requirements. If you have a larger and more complex operation, data availability and retention will give you a headache HDID is what you need. Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity, should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are copy replication, instant recovery, and disaster recovery."
"This product has improved our organization through its flexibility, functionality, and ease of use."
"The product's technical support is very good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution is that it is robust!"
"Technical support is excellent, they are extremely helpful and their assistance helped make our deployment process run as smoothly as it did."
"We have received a very good and quick ROI from this solution."
"Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind."
"We are a bit restless. When we need things, we need them yesterday. Hitachi was the only company who responded quickly with the POC, proposals and technical discussions. When we have asked other vendors to provide a technical solution, they were a bit late, and we were in hurry."
 

Cons

"I found the solution's initial setup to be very complex and overall deployment was not easy."
"I would like to see a scaled down version to cater to SME needs, where the licensing model is exchanged for a pay per use model."
"The solution should be offered at a better price."
"The solution is quite high."
"The solution could be adapted to fit other use cases for smaller companies."
"The integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator isn't smooth. It works, but we still need to go back and forth on certain technical aspects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very effective for the money you spend. They need to have better competent IT department assistants in order to get the best out of the solution."
