We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"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."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"The performance was decent."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"This solution is resilient."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"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."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"The solution is priced higher than its competitors."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"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."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
