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."This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"The most valuable feature of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is the platform and overall usage has been good. We have not had very many issues."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"Nutanix does a superb job with technical support."
"The solution is easy to use and the pricing is affordable."
"The tool is simple, stable, and easy to upgrade. It also requires few resources to manage, which simplifies our work. The solution's ease of upgrading is its valuable feature. AHV, provided by Nutanix, is excellent in performance and ease of use. It's based on an open-source product called KVM, which I also use for other services."
"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."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard and interface."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"To receive a performance enhancement by merely clicking the one button upgrade is the true value of the platform and what I look forward to the most."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"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."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"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."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
