"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"What I like best about Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is that it's a fast storage solution. It also has reliable models. The sales support is also good for this product. Even the pricing for it is good."
"This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
"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."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"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."
"At the moment, I don't see any room for improvement in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series because my experience with the product is very good. The software is okay and you can manage the storage well. What I'd like to see in the next release of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is for it to be a real NAS solution because right now, you need to use a Hitachi converter called HNAS which makes the process a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, Hitachi should look into the possibility of unifying the HNAS into full storage, meaning that the HNAS should be integrated into the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
"The solution's price could be better."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
"The initial setup was very complex."
