Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors.""One of the features, for us, that is important is the monitoring platform integrated into the solution. It has all the elements that we need to see, at all times, to be sure the platform is working right.""It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device.""I am happy about the storage system and availability.""The performance is very good.""The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions.""The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability.""In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."

"This product has good performance.""Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."

Cons
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage.""The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement.""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.""The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better.""The interface should be simplified and made easier to use.""We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like.""One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future.""There is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution."

"The response time for read requests can be improved.""InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing we get is very competitive when compared to other vendors. Hitachi is working on their licensing model and it is improving but can be irksome when many different items are not bundled or enterprise size."
  • "Our main issue with the Hitachi G-Series is what we consider to be an archaic software licensing scheme and high maintenance costs."
  • "It is a little expensive."
  • "I would like to see better pricing and more discounts."
  • "Pricing could be better, because the cost is very high."
  • "This solution is cheaper than Dell EMC VMAX. When you are looking for a high-end solution, price matters, but availability and stability are more important than the price."
  • "This is an expensive solution."
  • "When you are looking for high-end solutions such as this, price is less important than stability and availability."

  • "The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
  • "The best features come included without any additional cost."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer: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.
    Top Answer:One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the… more »
    Top Answer:We're only using the F Series in our lab for hosting lab infrastructure for all our colleagues. We needed fast storage.
