    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
    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

    • The tools on data importing from multiple storage solutions is not easy.
    • Setting the security when new to the tool.
    • Interface configuration to the learners is turf.

    Usability
    Hitachi Vantara
    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.

    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.

    The software features are easily manipulated and amazing technical help offered and even the functions flexibility ie fantastic. The storage capacity available is incredible and the platform allows effective accessibility of any data from the system through a very secure environment that the tool provides. Storage utilization using the software is perfect and easy configuration.
