It's a high-performing solution with strong architecture

I work for one of the largest commercial banks in Pakistan. We deploy Hitachi Virtual Storage in our primary data center and our remote disaster recovery site. It is used for all banking applications like credit and debit card transactions, reconciliation, general ledger, etc. The bank has…

Offers good support but there are issues with the language barrier

Huawei has a lot of penetration into accounts in Islamabad and the whole region, especially in Islamabad, because this is where our capital is, this is where most of the government offices are. They have a really nice marketing team that keeps on promoting all of their successes over various platforms. They are relatively cheaper when it comes to cloud services but they have a few weaknesses at the same time. IBM has AI tools and they have IBM Watson and Huawei doesn't. If you compare our deployment team from IBM versus our technical team from Huawei, with IBM we have five people, and for Huawei, we have 20 people. There is a major difference because you're getting more business from Huawei compared to IBM. We have a separate team for administration, installation, configuration, storage, and cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."

"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."

"The service provided by Hitachi is good, and I get the IT support I need from the vendors."

"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."

"The performance is very good."

"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform pros

"Huawei has a lot of penetration into accounts in Islamabad and the whole region, especially in Islamabad, because this is where our capital is, this is where most of the government offices are."

Cons

"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."

"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."

"The admin tools in the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform definitely have certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."

"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."

"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."

"In terms of what could be improved, it could use a better, faster web console and other consoles. It is so boring waiting, waiting and waiting for it to refresh."

"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform cons

"It is an expensive product. They should lower the price."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform is a very expensive product."

"The solution is expensive."

"I would rate the solution's pricing at around eight or nine on a scale of one to ten. While the solution may be priced higher than some competitors, we prioritize the quality and durability of the storage."

"Our main issue with the Hitachi G-Series is what we consider to be an archaic software licensing scheme and high maintenance costs."

"The costs were primarily in line with every other vendor at the time."

"The pricing is very competitive compared to other vendors. It really depends on the type of media we're using, like SaaS, SSP, or NVMe."

"It is an expensive product. I rate its pricing a three out of ten."

"It is a little expensive."
