We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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."What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The solution's predictive analytics is good. It helps to save costs."
"The fact that they offer free training is awesome. There are not very many vendors that do that."
"We get storage access without the need for more human monitoring of those resources."
"I really like the form factor, which is nice and compact and small."
"This product is very easy to set up."
"In the 20 days that we have been using this solution, it has been stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The quality of the service and management tools let us make contractual guarantees for storage performance for customers. That's something we couldn't do before."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"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 works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor provides numerous features that are tailored to cater to the requirements of all types of companies."
"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."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"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."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"I have problems with the next servicer. For example, I have a new device and it needs to connect to Nimble."
"The scalability could be better."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"I would like deduplication by default on all the volumes. I still don't understand (or know why) dedupe isn't enabled for the templates out-of-the-box. We have to go in and manually enable it each and every time."
"I think the scalability of HPE Nimble Storage could be improved."
"I would like to see more advanced analytics in the next release of this solution."
"HPE Nimble Storage could be improved with some critical application or servers."
"I'd like to see more granular quality of service rules. Currently, I think currently there's not much room for maximum IOPS, but there's not an option for minimum IOPS for a given volume."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"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."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
