Active data management enhances performance and simplifies operation

The active data management of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform, especially with the HOPS Center, makes it easier to work with the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform infrastructure. Previously, it was difficult to create and delete LUNs, which would take a long time, but now with HOPS Center, it is functioning correctly. It is now as easy as working with EMC or Dell storage, and the performance is better, especially with new features. The solution's performance, security, and cost are satisfactory. These factors influenced our decision to purchase Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform.

"The feature I like best is the stability of the hardware."

"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform pros

"This product has good performance."

"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."

"The admin tools in the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform definitely have certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."

"Hitachi should launch some small machines in Brazil. The smallest machine here in Brazil is VSP 350, which can be quite big for some of the customers. In China, Hitachi has small models of this equipment, but those models are not available in our region. Its pricing is a big issue for us. We are resellers, and we face some competition from other vendors. Hitachi doesn't always have a good position in terms of the price. Its user interface is also not as good as some of the other competitors, and it can be improved."

"The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform faces challenges when it comes to features like deduplication and compression. Enabling these features can lead to processor overload, resulting in performance degradation, especially under high loads."

"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform cons

"The response time for read requests can be improved."

"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our main issue with the Hitachi G-Series is what we consider to be an archaic software licensing scheme and high maintenance costs."

"This solution is cheaper than Dell EMC VMAX. When you are looking for a high-end solution, price matters, but availability and stability are more important than the price."

"The price is good enough considering the performance, and we are satisfied."

"It is a little expensive."

"The pricing we get is very competitive when compared to other vendors. Hitachi is working on their licensing model and it is improving but can be irksome when many different items are not bundled or enterprise size."

"Architecture-wise, it's actually at a competitive price point. It is not cheap."

"It is expensive as compared to other vendors, but its price is good if you are looking for stability, reliability, performance, and security."

"It is cheap. It is not very expensive. If you decide to expand the system, the cost is pretty low as compared to other vendors, such as Dell."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform pricing and cost advice
