We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and HPE Nimble Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is very scalable."
"The performance is very good."
"The performance was decent."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"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 hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The performance and the processor are good."
"Performance Integration with Commvault"
"InfoSight is a valuable feature."
"InfoSight, for sure, has been the best feature so far."
"Its speed, ease of use, and it has been completely reliable."
"It dynamically understands what data is being stored on it and where to store it, because they have got a flash array at the front, then obviously the standard style of storage at the back."
"The most valuable feature is the management of Nimble Storage, InfoSight. This is like a cloud. That's really a very nice feature. I think that's the only reason to buy Nimble Storage."
"Their remote management and understanding when things are starting to go wrong and their ability to fix them before the customer even knows, this has been a big positive when a customer makes the decision to go with Nimble"
"It needs to improve its price."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"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 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."
"There is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution."
"When sizing the array based on requirements the option to add more network cards for throughput would be something to help clients."
"The dashboard can be improved."
"The solution could reduce its price."
"I have problems with the next servicer. For example, I have a new device and it needs to connect to Nimble."
"The solution could improve by having more granularity. For example, having the ability to go deeper into specific IO channels or specific latency issues that can happen would be a benefit. HPE has this ability on their side but it would be useful to have it on our side."
"I want to see the full integration with OneView. I know they have started it, but I haven't had a chance to look at and evaluate it."
"Pure Storages have some option, which allows us the ability to directly download that host inventory and volume report. We can receive everything directly generated from the storage itself. We do not need to use some other web browser or something. If HPE Nimble Storage could do the same it would be a benefit."
"HPE Nimble Storage could be improved with some critical application or servers."
