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."What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"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 remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"OneView is a nice interface."
"If you design it right and implement it right, it's headache free. Just keep it there and it does what it's suppose to do."
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"The compression features are good."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product offers good performance."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."
"The software layer has to improve."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"We need better data deduplication."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The solution must be vertically and horizontally expandable."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"We have had a few issues with it. We had our virtual environment lock up a few times on storage-based things. We think we have it sorted out, but maybe it came down to a configuration issue on it."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"I would like to see compatibility with NVMe."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"During the initial setup, it was a bit complex in the wiring of the cages."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The product could always be faster."
