Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection."
"We are using Content Platform for data migration, and it integrates with our HNS platform. This is good because we can integrate it with our existing HNS and SAP solutions. The GUI is also user-friendly. It doesn't take much time to do anything. If we know the architecture and the steps, we can do what we need with a few clicks."
"The product provides the fastest technology."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"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."
"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 technology is stable which is good."
"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"When you want to replace a disk, we need to start the maintenance from the S nodes. We have to automate maintenance so any onsite engineer can replace it after that, but we don't need to do this on VSP platforms. An engineer can come in and replace that specific disk. If also we could do that on Hitachi Content Platform, it would be great for us."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"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."
"This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved."
"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 solution could use more integration with clouds."
"Two things that can be improved are pricing and configuration. Mostly the pricing is an issue. And if I were to add anything, I would say more integration with backup solutions such as Veeam Backup."
"Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems."
"We would like to see a self-sufficient installation."
