Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging."
"As an architect, I like the management features that come with Hitachi Content Platform because it makes things easy."
"The product provides the fastest technology."
"One of the most hidden valuable features is ensuring that you don't have bit rot, so it will go and check every single object that's stored on the system, then ensure that if there's a problem, it'll be repaired from either a local copy or remote copy, depending upon your configuration."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their retention logs. The other thing I have found most valuable is the way they handle the BHEA. Basically the DNS and everything is managed by itself. It is seamless to the users."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"The user interface isn't as user-friendly, and the management platform UI isn't as intuitive as others. So it can be more user-friendly."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"They should improve the user interface. It's a little bit complex. It does not have a self-learning method. You need to know how to use it before you touch the system. The user interface is not self-explanatory."
"This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved."
"The solution could use more integration with clouds."
"There is room for improvement in the capacity for integration with other platforms."
"Hitachi Content Platform is a complicated solution. You need to put several pieces of the hardware together in order to achieve the capacity or the performance needed."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
