"The product’s technical support services are good."
"The pricing of this solution is good, which is an advantage that positions this product well."
"The product has valuable features for data migration."
"Having moved over from a lefthand, which was seven or eight years old, there's a massive boost in performance. It has definitely improved the speed, the responsiveness, of all our applications."
"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the native full mesh (multi-pathing)."
"The solution is stable."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"The most valuable feature is the uptime. It doesn't go down. You can do firmware updates on it, no issues."
"This solution has given us improved application uptime and performance."
"We choose 3PAR for its speed. It's so fast and reliable."
"I do not like Hitachi NAS because it's an old-school NAS solution, compared to the other, newer-type solutions such as Isilon from Dell or Qumulo."
"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product."
"The monitoring tool is not well developed."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for cloud-connectivity to providers like AWS."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is expensive."
"Hitachi NAS Platform's pricing could be reduced. It is high compared to other competitors."
"Hitachi could be more flexible and have a simpler management interface."
"The interface to manage it could be improved. I was looking at OneView. Something basic like that should be available with the 3PAR. OneView has all the bells and whistles, all the features, but I think something basic and similar to that should be come with the 3PAR, at least for monitoring managing it."
"Cloud integration could be better. They can also add an NVMe to port to that. I would like to see NVMe in the next release. That's the future or the near future for storage. That will give us a real high throughput and some performance."
"I give it an eight because of the support, that I can't get support in my country. This is the worst part. Support cannot be sold until we are out of the sanctions."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"Sometimes control is rebooting and nobody knows why, so there are issues."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"The setup was complex from the perspective of the employees having to go through five days of training. If they simplified the administrative process of maintaining the unit, that would go a long way."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
