We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] and IBM FlashSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Speed (IOPS/second) – It is most vital for applications that need low latency and high speed for transferring the data."
"The speed of the unit is its best feature. It performs very well."
"The FlashSystem 900 consistently delivers performance below 1ms for read/write. This performance is essential for an effective SVC stretch-cluster configuration across two datacenters, and presenting active-active storage to the customer."
"The power systems are very reliable if you are running 24/7 operations. For ongoing mission-critical applications, it's the best solution."
"The most crucial feature of IBM FlashSystem is compression."
"Flash disk with Easy Tier option"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is compression."
"I like most of the features. Its speed, performance, and availability are valuable. We are implementing the data reduction technology the most."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"The file functionality could be better."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The interface could improve in IBM FlashSystem."
"IBM FlashSystems is lagging in optimizing storage technologies."
"We use some open-source tools for monitoring, such as Grafana and it should be bundled along with IBM FlashSystem."
"One area for improvement is in the GUI, where host clusters are not properly dealt with. With Hypervisor host clusters, all hosts must see the same volumes in the same order. Using the concept of a “host-group” has been around (even with IBM) for many years, so why not with the V7000?"
"Our model does not support compression or deduplication."
"The solution is not easy to use and could improve."
"The basic setup can be challenging when it comes to certain IP addresses and the configuration of the IP. You have to go in to different menus to makes changes and ensure it is stable."
"AHV is Acropolis Hypervisor – A relatively new Hypervisor, robust and stable as VMware vSphere, has built-in advanced analytics and powerful operations, Self Service Portal and components for DevOps included, managed by a single pane of glass (Prism) via HTML5 and it is free of charge – That is why Nutanix is so advanced and revolutionary."
