Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"The reliability is very good."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has reduced our electricity usage by reducing the amount of disks needed for the virtual environment."
"It performed great originally, and when it performed great, it was awesome."
"EasyTier/hotcaching: Valuable because it allows greater performance than standard SAS disks"
"It provides a combination of all the protocols that you need, without losing deduplication and compression."
"It's very fast. We were seeing read latencies of less than one millisecond. It is robust."
"High performance and ease-of-management are the most valuable features."
"Data Compression: Up to 80% space reduction in the database"
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The customer support is helpful."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The performance is good."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The price should be lower."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"Snapshots are not as easy to access as on a NetApp device."
"It only keeps one hour of real-time data without the ability to do deep analysis of each element."
"In the proxy section you can’t choose a user account and password, so it is not allowed at the moment to go out, if customer has such constellation."
"It's somewhat scalable, but maybe not so much as some of the competition."
"They need to offer better integration for a virtual platform to enable you to create hyper-converged solution."
"Technical support is bad. It'd grade them at 30% or 40%. The response time is terrible."
"We had just one small stability problem with power flapping and it did not start up again automatically. We had to access service ports and manually restart the storage processors."
"Performance is horrible now. Our original intent was to buy new storage in about two years. But since it became a critical urgency for us, we decided to purchase a new one in two or three months."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"The product could always be faster."
"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."
"The price must be improved."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
