We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and Huawei OceanStor Dorado 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."The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"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."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of 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."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"Two things really stand out for me. First, there's group cloning, which is very nice. It simplifies managing multiple clones across the group. Second, Huawei's multi-controller architecture with load balancing is a good part."
"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."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The performance is good."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The software layer has to improve."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"It is on the expensive side."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"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."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The price must be improved."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"For future releases, it would be beneficial for OceanStor Dorado to integrate advanced analytics and AI-driven functionalities for predictive maintenance and performance optimization."
