We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce 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 most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The latency is good."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"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."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The scalability is very good."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"The integrated Huawei Flash technology within OceanStor Dorado stands out as one of the most valuable features."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"We need better data deduplication."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"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."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"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 repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"The latency is a bit high."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
