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."It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"The product offers high stability."
"The performance is very good."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"In terms of performance and ability, the product can stand up against its competitors since the solution offers two controller systems to users."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is very easy to use."
"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 primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
"The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform faces challenges when it comes to features like deduplication and compression. Enabling these features can lead to processor overload, resulting in performance degradation, especially under high loads."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
