We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and Hitachi VSP E Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The technical support is great."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"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."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"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."
"We are using the Hitachi VSP E Series for high IOPS."
"It offers good file sharing."
"Its user-friendly configuration and maintenance processes contribute to its reputation for being straightforward and easily manageable."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"The file functionality could be better."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"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."
"If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"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."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"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 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."
"The solution's support duration or end-of-support life is very short."
"There is room for improvement in simplifying the overall complexity of the environment."
"The graphical user interface is somewhat outdated, lacking some of the modern features found in other solutions."
