We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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."It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"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."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"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."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is stable and reliable."
"All of the capabilities of the hardware such as replication, snapshot, and the specific features are all included from the start as opposed to being on another license."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"The greatest advantage is the support when we encounter incidents, as HPE's support is highly responsive."
"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"It is very easy to use."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The solution is scalable."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"It is on the expensive side."
"The file server embedded in Pure, the GUI, and the tracking and reporting features are better with Pure Storage."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"There really isn't any aspect of the solution that needs improvement for the customer other than its price."
"We face challenges with false alarms, particularly daily alerts related to replication link breaks. I'm not happy with the customer service and support."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"On the hardware side, you should have the ability to expand capacity to larger numbers."
"The price must be improved."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"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 the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
