We performed a comparison between Dell SC Series 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."Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The latency is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"Connecting it up, you can run it within a few hours."
"With auto-tiering, it's easier to understand than most arrays, knowing that all of your writes go to the tier that you specify, with easy-to-create storage profiles."
"Easy management of volumes: You can create volumes and easily assign them to VMware clusters, increasing their size."
"Technical support is very good. I do use it from time to time and it's always excellent."
"Performance-wise it's high speed. It's also more stable and scalable."
"The user interface is good, I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The setup and installation is much simpler now, because Dell has standardized the configure process."
"What is most valuable about the Dell EMC SC Series system was its reliability."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"This is a stable storage system."
"The solution is easy to use."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"It is on the expensive side."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"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 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."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"In some customer cases, customers experienced more performance or latency."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered higher performance, at least on the back end."
"This solution could be improved if overall performance was improved and operated with a higher speed and supported a higher volume of RAM."
"There's always room for improvement in the operating code."
"Dell could improve the upgrading process."
"The ease of use could be improved. It took me a while to learn it."
"I would like to see an integrated key manager in the controllers. Currently, it's an external product. It would be nice to have the option of having a built-in key for self-encrypting drive features."
"The administration and support (on the way that they delivered) was a little bit slow."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"The price could be better. It's not good for the Brazilian market."
