We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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."My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"All of the capabilities of the hardware such as replication, snapshot, and the specific features are all included from the start as opposed to being on another license."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to provide the IOPS ratio which is required by a lot of our customers."
"HPE Primera is scalable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the artificial intelligence for the storage inside of the software and firmware because customers do not like functionalities which require manual interruption."
"There has been a lot of changes in HPE Primera OS, and most of the time any package related to it is simple to upgrade. It does not require any support for the operation. The customer can easily deploy any code directly from the GUI which is very good. Additionally, we have individual storage we can allocate and easily manage."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The solution is scalable."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The customer support is helpful."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"We face challenges with false alarms, particularly daily alerts related to replication link breaks. I'm not happy with the customer service and support."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly in that sense that installation and management are still a bit on the high end."
"Like most storage, we want to see flash become more and more stable. Like any flash that uses MLC or TLC techniques, over time, the more writes you have, the less usable the storage becomes. They try to plan for this and have a lot of extra space in the arrays, but over time, their performance does degrade. This is true for any flash storage."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"There are certain shortcomings in the technical support offered by HPE where improvements are required."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"The solution's price could be better."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
