We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL], IBM System Storage DS8000 Series, 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 Global Copy and Global Mirror features are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The high throughput feature is the most powerful thing in this product."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"This solution is resilient."
"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."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The solution should embedded replication switches into the hardware instead of using them externally."
"The GUI isn't as user-friendly as other options."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"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."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"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."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
