We performed a comparison between Dell SC Series 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."It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"The latency is good."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"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."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"I've found the stability to be very good."
"The solution has a wide variety of valuable features. The data progression works well. We use the snapshot functionality quite a bit and really like it."
"The product offers good performance and is quite powerful."
"The solution is stable."
"The interface is easy to use which makes the product user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is the performance of the auto-tiering. It will move hot data up to your fastest Tier 1 or move your slow data down. Data progression is what it's called. With the auto-tiering you can have multiple tiers, you can have your Tier 1 be either spinning or flash, all the way down to 7.2K. It will change the RAID on the fly so your writes come in at RAID 10. After they sit for a while, they get converted to RAID 5, then they'll cool off and move down the tiers. Your performance is kept going, while the cold data is moved to your slow, non-performance tiers."
"Connecting it up, you can run it within a few hours."
"The setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"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."
"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."
"There's always room for improvement in the operating code."
"We had times that we needed a file service solution. We've used FluidFS, but it's a solution that is being transitioned out."
"While there's always room for improvement in everything, I can't really think of a specific feature of the solution that requires immediate attention."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable."
"Compellent comes in the form of a component that's not true of a unified storage platform."
"An issue we had was that the controller went down during an upgrade because of their upgrading the code. One side of the switch was down."
"It's not very efficient anymore. There are better products out there."
"The ease of use could be improved. It took me a while to learn it."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
