We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Huawei OceanStor Dorado based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The latency is good."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"Migrations are very easy and fast."
"The way you're able to manage all your PowerStores as one solution is very good for us. PowerStore enables you to federate or cluster multiple appliances with automated load balancing. In terms of management, it's helpful that we can do it from a single interface where we're able to manage multiple PowerStores. When you have multiple PowerStores it works intelligently by running the workloads based on the needs of the infrastructure."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"Has a great mapping feature."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerStore are the support for NVMe and SCM, which provides end-to-end performance and high IOPS, minimizing latency. It is a full-fledged storage solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"It is very easy to use."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"The software layer has to improve."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The only area I can highlight for improvement is that the 4:1 data reduction target has not been reached. This may be due to an issue with Dell EMC's initial analysis of data compression. As a result, we have had to add new physical disks to reach our goal of total available disk space."
"It needs more mature code."
"The support is not very good."
"Reporting is an area that could be improved. It's very simplistic sometimes, and some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details and be able to massage the report a little bit better."
"When you create a case on Dell's support website, you don't always get someone who is experienced in the kind of systems you need help with...making it an area where Dell's support team needs to make improvements."
"There are certain shortcomings with the technical support team of Dell PowerStore, where improvements are required."
"The customer service and support are bad."
"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
