We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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."Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"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 solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"It has allowed us to upgrade our DMS to the latest version and reuse the older array as the DR storage for VMware SRM."
"The valuable features include encryption of data, hybrid performance, firmware updates, and overall simplicity."
"Not only is it high performing, but it is also more compact and fits better in our storage arrays than equipment from other storage providers."
"The performance and the processor are good."
"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."
"The capacity for data storage and compression is good."
"It's very stable and fast, and I am very happy with the deduplication. It saves a lot of space, which is great."
"The deployment is fast."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The performance is good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"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."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"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."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"When we’re setting up the solution, making options available regarding the replication tool mechanism would be ideal."
"The only thing I'm really looking for in my next array is some hyperconverged, so if they had something in that space... But I know they have SimpliVity so that is probably not going to happen."
"We want to start storing data in the cloud really soon and we are looking at options."
"They keep talking about doing one-to-many replication. This is what we'd like to see, just to help with data replication."
"I would like to see more integrations."
"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."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"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."
