    The AWS Storage Gateway is well suited if you want a quick way to off load your backups to the cloud to eliminate the need of a offsite storage location for physical tapes. The ROI is quite good from that perspective since you can utilize Glacier storage for the virtual tapes. The AWS Storage Gateway is not well suited if data sets being backed up is very large. The lack of de-duplication will add time to your backup. It will also increase the egress charges

    The new evolution of Command Suite into Hitachi Vantara Ops Center has greatly simplified working with the Hitachi Vantara Storage systems compared to previous management tooling. Use of the whole suite including Performance Analyzer makes managing the entire Hitachi storage ecosystem a full featured and more approachable task. I enjoy the completeness of the solution as well as the integration that they have begun to employ.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Ease of finding useful helpful tips on using AWS
    • Dumbing down of the technical jargon on the site
    • Short sharp to the point step videos - answering some common questions
    • Remembering not everyone is an IT person - could be more user friendly

    Hitachi Vantara
    • Pool management (still best done through SVP)
    • Support for tags/attributes for storage resources would be a wonderful addition
    • Reporting is minimal and difficult to use.
    • Capacity planning (historical baselining + projection of organic growth) is a missing feature

    AWS Storage Gateway is a good product and for certain use cases works really well, however i would like to see it support additional protocols in the future.

    The interfaces are well designed and not overly populated with extraneous detail. Disparate but related feature sets are supported via separate interfaces that share a UX look and feel so that it doesn't feel like completely different panes of glass. Copy data management activity is still a bit clunky as it is accomplished via a re-purposed backup tool that was written to handle replicas, images and snapshots) but over all it is useable and has an interesting interface where elements are dragged onto the workflows.

    AWS Storage Gateway performance is ever excellent since we deployed it in our company. Downloading this platform and installing the setup is easy as compared to other similar products. Virtual data that we get from our cloud servers [are] good in the enhancement of better planning and safety [compliance]. I have been able to integrate the data from our server to our systems to streamline workflow and boost performance.

    Better reputation to start with, Hitachi appears to have (and thus hopefully will continue to have) great customer service for its products. Moreover, Hitachi Command Suite offered the most comprehensive, in terms of variables and aspects measured, functioning compared to its peers. Other software services were just as clunky, without the extra features, and without the customer service reputation, Hitachi has. So far I/we have been pleased with this selection.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • It has positively affected us for ETL on reports to customers that neither party wants to pay too much for.
    • It has also positively affected us where our backup systems where old and had large maintenance costs.
    • It has some new, net negative impact with slowed down delivery or random slowing incidents.
