We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO 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 like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"Thin storage allocation"
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."
"It is very easy to use."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"We did have one hiccup with the integration of vCenter. When we were installing Pure Storage, we were using vCenter 6.7, which defaults to the HTML5 Web Client. The current plugin for Pure Storage doesn't show up in that client at all. You have to go and use the legacy FlexFlash client to see the Pure Storage plugin in vCenter."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"The backend of this solution utilizes an Active/Passive architecture, rather than an Active/Active architecture, which is a disadvantage, when compared to some of its competitors. Its storage capacity should be expanded in the next release."
"The price should be lower."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"The price must be improved."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
