We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL], Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform, and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The product offers high stability."
"The product provides a good storage space."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"The efficiency ratio is just as high as advertised. It's very high relative to other storage solutions as well. The compression and deduplication capabilities are also very high."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"This solution is resilient."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"The initial deployment was somewhat complex when it came to the installation because of the network connectivity. It was more difficult, in this specific case, than with other platforms."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
