BI Project Manager/ Scrum Master at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Easy to set up and can integrate with cyber recovery solutions but is only for Google Cloud
The initial setup is straightforward. I'd rate the experience eight out of ten. Time-wise, maybe within a couple of hours, everything should be up and running. You need to have good planning to have network communication between your VPCs where your workloads reside and where your backup appliance resides. Good planning is required connectivity-wise. In terms of authentication, you need to plan what level of authentication is required for what level of users. These are the two main things that need to be taken care of at the outset. From the integrator side, one guy should be enough to deploy the product. Once it is operational and handed over, it's up to the customer to handle the product, to maintain the product.

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

"Technical support is good."
"Immediate recovery and data virtualization."
"I would definitely recommend this product for customers who have big databases, big data, and lots of developers."
"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

"Backup to tapes is still in demand and it's not supported."
"As of now, it's predominantly meant for Google Cloud. It would be good if it could be extended to other clouds as well."
"The integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator isn't smooth. It works, but we still need to go back and forth on certain technical aspects."
