"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"It worked flawlessly."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"Great value for money."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"This is a stable storage system."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The product could always be faster."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"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."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
