We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and NetApp 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.
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"Technical support is good."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."
"The performance was decent."
"What I like best about Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is that it's a fast storage solution. It also has reliable models. The sales support is also good for this product. Even the pricing for it is good."
"The efficiency ratio is just as high as advertised. It's very high relative to other storage solutions as well. The compression and deduplication capabilities are also very high."
"The technical support is great."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"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 in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The product is easy to use."
"My customers are satisfied with the performance."
"Customers go for the E Series if they need backup storage because it is cheap."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"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 new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"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."
"Though the performance is there, if NetApp wants to be competitive with the others, it must improve their business continuity."
"The solution must provide more training courses."
"NetApp should add more production lines to the E series so we can make flexible solutions more easily."
