We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage and Huawei OceanStor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"The solution's uptime is fantastic. It's 100 percent. In addition, Nimble's storage capacity efficiency is very effective."
"Our virtual admins are able to take control of Nimble and know how to allocate the storage, whenever it is required, thus reducing time."
"It dynamically understands what data is being stored on it and where to store it, because they have got a flash array at the front, then obviously the standard style of storage at the back."
"The most useful features are high availability and the storage snapshot backup functionality."
"It is easy to use. Not too complicated."
"The storage capacity efficiency is phenomenal. It is off the charts in comparison to the compression ratios that we got before. We are able to save a lot more to the device."
"The quality of the service and management tools let us make contractual guarantees for storage performance for customers. That's something we couldn't do before."
"They do a good job of helping people do storage in a very simple way."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"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."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"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."
"There is a new version of the Nimble and 3PAR systems called Alletra and they have a lot of new features."
"HPE Nimble Storage could be improved with some critical application or servers."
"In the future, I would like to see a lower-end model that has Peer Persistence functionality."
"The HPE Nimble Storage could have better integration with monitoring and machine learning system information solutions."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"The backup solution that they are using now probably has not been deduped."
"The solution should allow for easier configurations."
"HPE does not have suffficient storage."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"Huawei OceanStor should work on its saturation level and should be able to take up more load. It should give the same performance that it gives at 20 or 30 percent load for 80 percent as well."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"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."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
