We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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."One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"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."
"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."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"HPE Primera is an all-flash storage product that's very stable and has a higher storage capacity. It can also give better ROI compared to NetApp."
"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."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of deployment."
"HPE Primera is stable."
"The interface is simplified."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"The support is excellent."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"Generally stable with good technical support."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"Huawei OceanStor has the capability of SSDs, high-performance disks, and higher disk support."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"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."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"Some application solutions can be more acceptable on the HPE Primera site."
"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."
"One of the drawbacks of the model we purchased is that it is not running NVMe drives. Even though they say that it is NVMe-ready, it is still on the SSD drives. The model that we purchased has only eight hard drives, and only the ones on the top could work on NVMe. The rest of them are still on the SSD. Its competitors, such as EMC and Pure Storage, are moving or have already moved to NVMe. HPE should improve this solution for NVMe. HPE should also improve IOs in this solution. IOs in HPE are weaker than Hitachi and Pure Storage."
"I would like to see improved training offered with HPE Primera."
"The pricing is very high."
"Increasing the IOPS and throughput values would make the product even better. Improving the scalability of HPE Primera is also recommended."
"We used to receive hardware errors a lot of times. The ambient temperatures rise rate was approximately 35 to 55 degrees, but when it was approximately 27 or 28, we used to get errors a lot."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"CFS integration is one area where OceanStor has some room for improvement. The CFS on OceanStor is dedicated, so it's not integrated with the existing active directory domain."
