We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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 solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"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."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to provide the IOPS ratio which is required by a lot of our customers."
"The most valuable feature of HPE Primera is its performance and simple replication."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"Primera's main advantage is its support for NVM drives and normal flash drives. It has some sort of AI analysis that automatically tells us how to optimize the performance."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"We need better data deduplication."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"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."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"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."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"The solution has good performance but it could improve further."
"Like most storage, we want to see flash become more and more stable. Like any flash that uses MLC or TLC techniques, over time, the more writes you have, the less usable the storage becomes. They try to plan for this and have a lot of extra space in the arrays, but over time, their performance does degrade. This is true for any flash storage."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"The cost of HPE Primera could be lower."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly in that sense that installation and management are still a bit on the high end."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"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."
"For future releases, it would be beneficial for OceanStor Dorado to integrate advanced analytics and AI-driven functionalities for predictive maintenance and performance optimization."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
