"Huawei OceanStor provides numerous features that are tailored to cater to the requirements of all types of companies."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"We need better data deduplication."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."

"The initial setup was easy. However, we get stuck on preconditions. We were not aware of some of the preconditions."
"The setup was complex from the perspective of the employees having to go through five days of training. If they simplified the administrative process of maintaining the unit, that would go a long way."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"Extending is not a problem, scalability is okay. But once you buy additional box of disks, you have to wait for HPE to contact you with their plan for implementation, for connecting, and it can take several weeks. So, you have the box and you have to wait for several weeks to actually implement it."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"I would like to see a little bit more integration from a cloud perspective. In this way, I would have some more flexibility to do more with data, how to store it, and where I have it."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"CFS integration is one area where OceanStor has some room for improvement. The CFS on OceanStor is dedicated, so it's not integrated with the existing active directory domain."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"Huawei OceanStor should work on its saturation level and should be able to take up more load. It should give the same performance that it gives at 20 or 30 percent load for 80 percent as well."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
