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."The latency is good."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"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."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"The most valuable feature of HP Primera is that you don't have to buy an additional product for application replication. It's a stable product. The tool is scalable. I recommend HPE Primera because it's one of HP's most stable product."
"The initial setup is simple."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"We sold Primera to a public university, and they're happy with it. They have been using it for about four months with no significant problems."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"It is a highly available product."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"Generally stable with good technical support."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"It is on the expensive side."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"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 catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"On the controller side, I would like to see NAS capabilities."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."
"There are certain shortcomings in the technical support offered by HPE where improvements are required."
"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."
"The file server embedded in Pure, the GUI, and the tracking and reporting features are better with Pure Storage."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"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."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"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 security could be a bit more robust."
