We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"The performance is very good."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"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."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"Single-click upgrades are the most valuable feature. In the sector in which we work, it is tough to have downtime and arrange firmware upgrades."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"This operating system offers stability. Setup is straightforward."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"The technology has a lot of room for improvement. For example, when they want to segment applications in conjunction with NSX, which VMware uses, Acropolis is not compatible with the competitors. The integration in the security layer is not compatible with NSX for the application segmentation that uses VMware."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
