We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The latency is good."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"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."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"When taking into account the price, maintenance required, and performance of HPE Primera, it is an effective solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"All of the capabilities of the hardware such as replication, snapshot, and the specific features are all included from the start as opposed to being on another license."
"HPE Primera is scalable."
"The most important thing that we had found when we purchased this product around six months back was its 100% availability and uptime."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to provide the IOPS ratio which is required by a lot of our customers."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."

"Its technical support team is helpful."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"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."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."

"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"The cost of HPE Primera could be lower."
"On the hardware side, you should have the ability to expand capacity to larger numbers."
"Primera should be more user-friendly."
"We used to receive hardware errors a lot of times. The ambient temperatures rise rate was approximately 35 to 55 degrees, but when it was approximately 27 or 28, we used to get errors a lot."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"We face challenges with false alarms, particularly daily alerts related to replication link breaks. I'm not happy with the customer service and support."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"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."
"The price could be better. It's not good for the Brazilian market."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
