We performed a comparison between Dell SC Series and Huawei OceanStor 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 duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"The interface is easy to use which makes the product user-friendly."
"With federation, you can have multiple systems across sites. You can treat them as one, and with a live migration, volumes don't go down. You can move them from site to site, doing maintenance, and keep your environment up."
"The most valuable features are the with back-end dedupe, and the thin nodes. For a 20TB or 60TB, we're using almost a one-to-two ratio."
"It is just as stable as any other high-end solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to replicate. We are running a financial company and it needs to be available 24/7. We can't afford any downtime."
"The performance benefits weren't surprising, we expected that. What we didn't expect were the densification benefits that we got out of going all-flash. We're able to put more applications on the arrays because of how all-flash performs. The way some of the application profiles have responded to all-flash has been really pleasing."
"It is fast and performs well."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"OceanStor can be used as NAS and SAN storage at the same time, with both file and block features in the same box."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We need better data deduplication."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"Compellent comes in the form of a component that's not true of a unified storage platform."
"This product should be a lot more user-friendly."
"I would like to have 100% functionality through the web app."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and should be made simpler to do."
"The connection should be better integrated with the network to offer a better view of the system."
"We have seen some degraded throughput with mixed workloads. We have been working with Dell EMC to correct some of these latency issues."
"From a performance point of view, it's getting a bit old."
"The cost of the solution could be better."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
