"Hitachi is reliable with high availability and solid performance. It performs well regardless of the workload."
"The product’s technical support services are good."
"OneView is a nice interface."
"The solution has helped our organization reduce time to deployment by about 60 to 70 percent, because I am able to spin up new systems within four to six hours, where it used to take me two to three days."
"We have been able to back up our data more frequently now that we have everything on flash. It responds a lot faster, so the IOPs are a lot faster."
"This solution has given us improved application uptime and performance."
"It has improved the ability of the executives to get proper insights."
"If you design it right and implement it right, it's headache free. Just keep it there and it does what it's suppose to do."
"It's a really stable solution. We have no problems with the customer, no negative feedback from them on this."
"The scalability is good because it is easy to add in new disks. We just add them on the fly, and they are available for use."
"Hitachi NAS Platform's pricing could be reduced. It is high compared to other competitors."
"The monitoring tool is not well developed."
"I do not like Hitachi NAS because it's an old-school NAS solution, compared to the other, newer-type solutions such as Isilon from Dell or Qumulo."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is expensive."
"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product."
"Hitachi could be more flexible and have a simpler management interface."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for cloud-connectivity to providers like AWS."
"The speed of the hard disk could be better. The performance is the main issue for us. The performance of the VMs is not comparable to desktop machines, for instance, and we might need another solution to improve the performance. Other than that, we don't have any issues. We already have a great part of storage with SSDs, and the performance is not as good as I expected."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"Upgrades on them are a bit tricky. For us to do a head swap on one is a full outer joiner storage frame, which is obviously not that easy to do in a production environment."
"The tool is old."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"We have issues with scalability because 3PAR has limited storage capacity, so we have to invest more after a while."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
