Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] vs VMAX [EOL] comparison

"This solution had the best cost and it was easy to work with the Vendor."

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."

"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."

"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."

"This solution is resilient."

"This product has enabled dynamic allocation of disk resources, and at the same time, improved the data access speed and application performance by a large extent."

"VMAX is more scalable and has better performance (gives more IOPS, more front end ports...)."

"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."

"It is a high end storage, minimal downtime, reliable, good performance, get speedy support when we need."

"The exterior display needs 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."

"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that Dell EMC vPlex offers."

"Be aware that buying a Symmetrix VMAX is like owning a McLaren F1 race car; consider yourself lucky to drive it at the track since everything else must be performed by McLaren."

"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."

"We are trying to scale a vintage VMAX. As far as increasing capacity, it is a real nightmare."

"The only draw back is you don’t get multiple point in time copies."

"The cluster support should be improved."

"Manageability is a bit of a challenge, as the user interface to access the array is not very user-friendly."

"This solution has a good price-performance ratio."

"Our licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."

"There are additional costs to the standard licensing fee, and it just depends on the package."
