We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and VAST Data based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"The performance is very good."
"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."
"The product provides a good storage space."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"The price should be lower."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"The snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"I would like to see Hitachi improve their management software. It's been three years since they introduced Ops Center, their management product, and it still hasn't reached at least 50 percent of the capability we require. We are using legacy software because the product Hitachi offers does not stack up in functionality."
"The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
