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."Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The technical support is great."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The product offers high stability."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"It has seamless expandability."
"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"The initial deployment was somewhat complex when it came to the installation because of the network connectivity. It was more difficult, in this specific case, than with other platforms."
"The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"The installation procedure it a bit difficult, because it is a high-end solution. With this type of product, the original company is interested in doing the setup for customers in the area, but because of sanctions we were not able to get support in our area. We faced many issued trying to learn to run this product."
"In terms of what could be improved, it could use a better, faster web console and other consoles. It is so boring waiting, waiting and waiting for it to refresh."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
