Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"The Hitachi Content Platform is a stable and reliable solution."
"Companies can scale the solution."
"As an architect, I like the management features that come with Hitachi Content Platform because it makes things easy."
"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 product provides the fastest technology."
"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."
"The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command."
"There is room for improvement in the capacity for integration with other platforms."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"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."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
