Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The scalability is good."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The price could be better."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
