We performed a comparison between Dell PowerMax NVMe 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."I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"I have been highly satisfied with the resiliency and scalability of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is its global cache, which allows for uncompromised performance."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"The solution has good operability and easy scalability."
"The performance is very good on our servers. It's superior. And the QoS capabilities for providing work congestion protection are also important because about 99 percent of our servers are production servers."
"The speed and the compatible interface with IBM are the most valuable features of the PowerMax product."
"There is no management overhead involved in optimizing performance. It does it so well on its own. We don't have to manage much at all. It really is like a set it and forget it solution. My storage engineers love the system. It is a lot less work than our previous systems, which weren't bad by any means. There is not nearly as much management as before. So, we are saving dozens of hours per month for our storage team, and that is a real cost in our business."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The product offers good performance."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"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 product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We would like more documentation, a guide to the features of the PowerMax."
"I would like a more informative CloudIQ for iOS. What you can see via the web UI significantly differs from what you can see via the web application."
"I would like to see the rack change. They have defaulted to the standard rack, so our fiber cables are crowded when we shut our back door."
"The initial setup was complex, as it is a complex system and you have to learn a lot."
"There is room for improvement in the replication. It's an important requirement for us."
"We've had a couple of little things come up, but for the most part, they've been pretty stable."
"The solution does not use new versions of OS and patches. Its installation is also difficult. The solution is not as fast as other storage in the market."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"The price must be improved."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
