We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore 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 has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"I find all of the Dell PowerStore features to be valuable."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"It's a great product. Integrating PowerStore with the IT workflow is easy."
"The way you're able to manage all your PowerStores as one solution is very good for us. PowerStore enables you to federate or cluster multiple appliances with automated load balancing. In terms of management, it's helpful that we can do it from a single interface where we're able to manage multiple PowerStores. When you have multiple PowerStores it works intelligently by running the workloads based on the needs of the infrastructure."
"A particularly valuable feature is its simplicity."
"When compared to Pure Storage, Dell PowerStore's cost was quite attractive."
"The supportability of SCME drives for faster data access from the PowerStore and is the most valuable feature."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The solution is easy to use."
"This is a stable storage system."
"OceanStor can be used as NAS and SAN storage at the same time, with both file and block features in the same box."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"The support team doesn't always provide adequate assistance. So, there is room for improvement in the support."
"More demonstration and training options are needed."
"Horizontal scaling has room for improvement."
"I have not seen anything specific. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is the price."
"We are happy with the service in general. The only thing would be the price of the platform."
"It doesn't support SSD or Flash."
"The support is not very good."
"You cannot delegate permissions."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
