We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ 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.
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The solution is scalable."
"The latency is good."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"Resilience and reliability, unmatched. They take good care of us."
"We have been able to back up our data more frequently now that we have everything on flash. It responds a lot faster, so the IOPs are a lot faster."
"It is easy to manage and performs very well."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"When we bought it, the big sell for us was what they called "wide striping", how they striped the data and could get performance on a cheaper disk. Nowadays, the newer models that are out, which we are going to in the next couple of years, the most valuable feature is mainly being able to achieve such high IOPS in such a small chassis."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"We do not have to take the whole system down to do upgrades."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The solution is scalable."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The integrated Huawei Flash technology within OceanStor Dorado stands out as one of the most valuable features."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"The software layer has to improve."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"We have had a few issues with it. We had our virtual environment lock up a few times on storage-based things. We think we have it sorted out, but maybe it came down to a configuration issue on it."
"Sadly, the support from HPE has not been all that great. It is tough to get a tech out or get a response from some of the techs that we have."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"HPE could improve by raising awareness when a new product is launched. They must think of ways to better serve and engage with their enterprise customers. HPE is selling enterprise products and mission-critical support."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"For future releases, it would be beneficial for OceanStor Dorado to integrate advanced analytics and AI-driven functionalities for predictive maintenance and performance optimization."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
