Hitachi TrueCopy vs NetApp SnapMirror comparison

"Hitachi TrueCopy is very effective for transferring big data from one storage to another storage."

"The best features of Hitachi TrueCopy include its ability to act similarly to a snapshot from any disk, from any LUN, and for fast copy data from production to test."

"With SnapMirror, the solution is the feature itself that is most valuable. It just replicates the data. It's very difficult to speak about, in the sense that it's similar to the features of a wheel. It is round and it's a part of an automobile."

"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."

"There are a lot of features that are excellent. The data compression during the transfer, for example, is good. The replication is great. The durability of the solution and the speed of the data moving from one site to another is impressive."

"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."

"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."

"The solution is very stable."

"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."

"The product has good performance."

"Technical support is indeed an area for improvement; Hitachi has very good hardware and the equipment is good, but the support and management monitoring are not as robust as IMC, IBM, and HP."

"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."

"The price needs to be improved."

"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."

"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."

"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."

"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."

"The price could be cheaper."

"The user interface could be simplified. They might want to have fewer options on it, to make it less complicated. There are a lot of options we never use ourselves. They're often very specialized and don't apply to us."

"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."

"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The pricing can be improved."

"The cost is low compared to different vendors."

"SnapMirror is extremely expensive. We had a hard time adjusting to our budget. If rated on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most expensive, I would definitely rate it ten out of ten."

"The product price is reasonable."

"It's a highly cost-effective solution"
