"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"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."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"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 snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"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."
"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."

"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."

"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
