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."I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The program is very stable."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The customer support is helpful."
"The product offers good performance."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"The solution is not cheap."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The solution's price could be better."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"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."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"The product could always be faster."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
