We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and IBM FlashSystem 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 solution is scalable."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"It is very easy to use."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"It is a scalable solution."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The product offers good performance."
"No queuing and high ops, speed, and performance."
"High availability and enhanced security; Proven dependability; Data compression with hardware acceleration; Advanced copy services features are all in this product."
"IBM FlashSystem is flexible, quick, and has a solid design."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's very easy to use and configure. It used to be more difficult, but now it's almost flawless."
"IBM FlashSystem has an easy to use GUI, similar to the IBM Storewize family, which make it one of the best flash storage systems in the market."
"It is simple to make an update."
"The initial customer technical support was efficient and effective."
"The most valuable features are deduplication and compression."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"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."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"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."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"I would like to have a larger disk. Right now, you can get 57 terabytes in a shelf. Once they get the larger disk and you get larger capacities, it'll be even better."
"In the next release having the next level of high-speed performance would be great."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The GUI for monitoring performance metrics could provide better visibility. For example, it doesn't let me segregate the IOPS per volume."
"They don't offer subscription-based payments."
"The pricing could be improved, but I think it's getting better and better with each version. IBM needs to implement NAS storage again, as this is a big flaw. Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."
"The technical support in my region is satisfactory but it could improve. Support is very important for customers and downtime is very critical for us. We would like onsite or complete technical support which can help us to minimize our downtime or if problems occur."
"The ease of installation should be improved. We had issues with the configuration model."
