Hitachi TrueCopy vs NetApp SnapMirror comparison

"The best features of Hitachi TrueCopy include its ability to act similarly to a snapshot from any disk, from any LUN, and for fast copy data from production to test."

"Hitachi TrueCopy is very effective for transferring big data from one storage to another storage."

"The product has good performance."

"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."

"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."

"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."

"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."

"The synchronous and real-time replication are the most vital features of NetApp SnapMirror"

"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable."

"Technical support is indeed an area for improvement; Hitachi has very good hardware and the equipment is good, but the support and management monitoring are not as robust as IMC, IBM, and HP."

"Technical support is indeed an area for improvement; Hitachi has very good hardware and the equipment is good, but the support and management monitoring are not as robust as IMC, IBM, and HP."

"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."

"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."

"Compression and deduplication could be improved."

"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."

"The tool should also work on third-party solutions."

"In the next release, I would like to get an active IP number solution."

"The price needs to be improved."

"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."

"The cost is low compared to different vendors."

"The product price is reasonable."

"The pricing could be improved."

"The solution has monthly and yearly licensing options."

"It's part of the NetApp Firewall, so it's free."

"SnapMirror is extremely expensive. We had a hard time adjusting to our budget. If rated on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the most expensive, I would definitely rate it ten out of ten."

"It's a highly cost-effective solution"

"The pricing can be improved."
