Highly reliable, pricing works for them ,but would like to see improvement in the IOPS with the competition

The system is simplified to manage and store items The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data. Especially for environments that store common data with de-commonality, like the Oracle…

Pros

"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

Cons

"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."

"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."

"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."

"We need better data deduplication."

"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."

"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."

"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe cons

"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."

"Agnostic backups."

"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."

"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."

"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."

"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."

"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."

More HPE StoreOnce cons

"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"

"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."

"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."

"The price must be improved."

"For future releases, it would be beneficial for OceanStor Dorado to integrate advanced analytics and AI-driven functionalities for predictive maintenance and performance optimization."

"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."

"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."

"Difficult integration with third parties."

"The tool is an investment that we've budgeted for. While the prices may be higher than those of other vendors, we see it as a market leader with benefits. We don't regret purchasing it."
