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 most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"Typically, high-performance and high-availability features, such as application snapshots and remote and local replication, are highly valued."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"The simplicity and ease of use have been very valuable features. I have a very small team, and only half of the team is well versed in the HP product. Whereas if I bring PowerStore in, everyone can learn it because it will be new on the floor."
"There is no complicated configuration for queries and calls. You just create a model and go."
"It provides a big benefit when upgrading a new VMware environment. For example, in a big environment with 10 to 30 ESXs, you can take everything and put that into PowerStore. So, it is cost-effective, which is very important and has been massive for us. You reduce almost 80% from the hardware and work directly from PowerStore. Building hardware, especially in a big VMware environment, is a big issue for my organization."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This solution is very useful to us as we use it internally for all of the services that we need. We use it as a lab and we showcase new technology to the customers and how it can help them going forward."
"It is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"There is no Synchronize replication feature on the storage."
"Could use some additional automation."
"While using Dell PowerStore's interface in our organization, we sometimes miss out on some information."
"When it comes to Dell PowerStore, I would like to see more integration and more security features included. It's unfortunate that the solution does not feature Flash trace."
"We are happy with the service in general. The only thing would be the price of the platform."
"I have not seen anything specific. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is the price."
"It doesn't support SSD or Flash."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
