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 has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"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 helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"InfoSight has helped us resolved an issue where the snapshots were growing too big."
"It is easy to use. Not too complicated."
"We have seen our average latency go from four milliseconds to point four. Therefore, we are getting 10 times better performance down to the end user on everything. We have seen an increase in our IOPS by ten times."
"The most valuable feature is InfoSight, and the ability that InfoSight gives you, from insight within your environment to what is going on at the storage layer."
"It's given us more time to do the important things, less time worrying about SANs and failures and picking up the pieces. It just works."
"Updates are very easy to do when the customer is connected to the internet."
"The valuable features include encryption of data, hybrid performance, firmware updates, and overall simplicity."
"Its speed, ease of use, and it has been completely reliable."
"If your virtual machine that resides on it completely fills the storage space, thanks to it's built-in function of all-zero data space reclamation, you just have to ask to System Engineer to run a zero-free on hosts (thin provisioned) and you will get more space instantaneously."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"This is a stable storage system."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"I wish they would put the InfoSight page back the way it was. I got in it for the first time about two years ago, and it looked the same for about a year and a half. Then, about six months ago, it changed. There are different options now. I can still get to where I need to go, but it feels like it takes longer, where before it didn't. Also, I felt like I had a lot more options before. I have to do a lot more to digging now to get to where I need to go. I just wish they had their old page back."
"I would like to see an added feature to auto-fix, or a dynamic alerting system on storage."
"I would like to see greater integration with Microsoft's Hyper-V platform."
"You could argue that it would be preferable if everything were cheaper in order to save taxpayer money."
"When we’re setting up the solution, making options available regarding the replication tool mechanism would be ideal."
"HPE Nimble Storage's cost is very high, making it one of its downsides."
"They keep talking about doing one-to-many replication. This is what we'd like to see, just to help with data replication."
"HPE does not have suffficient storage."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"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."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Unfortunately, this product doesn't support Flash Disks, but it's IOPS capacity is a great compromise."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
