Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) Likes & Dislikes

Like

As an IT manager, I can't really evaluate the product in terms of its administrative capabilities, but I greatly appreciate the personal contact with Hitachi and the good advice one receives.

Automated Translation from German
Like

HCP is a solid and secure solution for long term archiving of data, especially when compliancy storage is involved.

Like

This solution has enterprise grade data protection and compliance along with metadata and search capabilities, data availability guarantee and can scale horizontally.

Dislike

As I've heard from colleagues who support the product (storage system), Hitachi's support strategy has changed, so they essentially no longer support the products themselves, but rather through third-party companies. We've noticed a decline in quality as a result.

Automated Translation from German
Dislike

The S3 implementation of HCP is not fully S3 compatible.

Dislike

On going support and maintenance cost. this can be simplified as the product allows refresh during its life span.
