We performed a comparison between Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System and VNX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The solution is very reliable."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"Support has been helpful."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"The most valuable feature is the tight VMware integration, due to the migration from bare metal to virtualized environments and then on to the cloud."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"They could improve the price."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"Automation could be simplified."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
"The administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible."
"Poor connection to FC."
"There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"Based on our workloads, we see repeatedly in performance reports that the built-in controller (SP) cache of our VNX model is not sufficiently large, resulting in forced cache flushing."
"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption."
"The management software used for the VNX is Unicenter. While it is an improvement over Navicenter, used in older EMC SANs, it still feels outdated in comparison to other SAN management software."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
