We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and HPE All-Flash Storage 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."The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"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 platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to process huge amounts of data."
"The solution is easily manageable."
"The initial setup is easy compared to other vendors."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"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 have support available in Spanish."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"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 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."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"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."
"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 support, visibility, and reporting features must be improved."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"The product’s ability to recover information and generate reports needs enhancement."
