We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage and Huawei OceanStor 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 is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The latency is good."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"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 duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The most valuable feature is the NVMe flash storage."
"InfoSight is a valuable feature."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"InfoSight, for sure, has been the best feature so far."
"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"The deployment is fast."
"Performance, reliability, InfoSight, the ability to upgrade the O/S on the SAN without taking it down, and cost."
"The management software that runs in the cloud is called InfoSight and it is very good. It is similar to machine learning software that monitors your hardware."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"The software layer has to improve."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"The most difficult part about Nimble was the fact that it didn't have a standard length."
"I'd also like to see them incorporate tools that let me get granular with the VMs. I want to see an individual VM, I want to Snapshot and recover an individual VM."
"The solution should allow for easier configurations."
"When we’re setting up the solution, making options available regarding the replication tool mechanism would be ideal."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"I would like to see SSL Certification."
"Pure Storages have some option, which allows us the ability to directly download that host inventory and volume report. We can receive everything directly generated from the storage itself. We do not need to use some other web browser or something. If HPE Nimble Storage could do the same it would be a benefit."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
