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."The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"SRM capabilities for replication have been proven reliable and very useful for our organization."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"The solution is easy to use and the pricing is affordable."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure has a simple, user-friendly GUI, and I also like the remote recovery capabilities. It provides a single platform for managing databases."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"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 one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
"It would be fantastic if there was a built-in layer, in Nutanix, that acted like a cloud interface. So far, we need to integrate a cloud interface on top of Nutanix for billing the usage for specific customers' domains. It would be great if a cloud gateway was built-in, inside Nutanix."
"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."
"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."
"This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
