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."

"The most valuable feature is the snap shot."

"The technology enables us to have a safe backup."

"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."

"Data protection is a valuable feature."

"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."

"The technical support is quite good."

"The synchronous and real-time replication are the most vital features of NetApp SnapMirror"

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

"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."

"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."

"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."

"It is not as efficient as it needs to be. It doesn't compress the data really well when it is forwarded to a secondary site. The download performance could be better."

"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."

"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."

"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 get an active IP number solution."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The product price is reasonable."

"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."

"It's a highly cost-effective solution"

"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."

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