We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 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."Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"The service provided by Hitachi is good, and I get the IT support I need from the vendors."
"The performance is very good."
"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of maintenance and configuration. It's also possible to connect the solution to other storage management solutions."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The performance is good."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."
"Not just anyone can do the deployment. So, the person needs a basic understanding and work experience."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"For future releases, it would be beneficial for OceanStor Dorado to integrate advanced analytics and AI-driven functionalities for predictive maintenance and performance optimization."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
