"We have tons of capacity on it."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"This is a stable storage system."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"With scalability, I have run into a little problem with our last upgrade. There were some undocumented limitations to the number of drives that our controller could run on. So, instead of putting in a new data pack as we had anticipated, we had to keep adding and removing to get up to the capacity that we needed to be. What should have been a one day process (or a few hours) turned into a month and a half process."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
