We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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 performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"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."
"Their support system has insight into errors on our SAN fabric that we can't see. They've brought attention to and raised awareness for us about things that we couldn't see, when we were experiencing problems."
"The reliability is very good."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"It serves as the primary storage in my production environment."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"There has been a lot of changes in HPE Primera OS, and most of the time any package related to it is simple to upgrade. It does not require any support for the operation. The customer can easily deploy any code directly from the GUI which is very good. Additionally, we have individual storage we can allocate and easily manage."
"The performance is very good."
"HPE Primera provides me with system reliability and 100% data reliability. The storage is good and is consistently reliable and scalable, allowing me to use it whenever needed. The overall performance is great. The product is stable. The customer service and support is excellent. It's a commendable solution, especially suitable for online transactions. It is reliable in meeting data requirements."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"HPE Primera is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Great value for money."
"It is a highly available product."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"Automation could be simplified."
"One of the drawbacks of the model we purchased is that it is not running NVMe drives. Even though they say that it is NVMe-ready, it is still on the SSD drives. The model that we purchased has only eight hard drives, and only the ones on the top could work on NVMe. The rest of them are still on the SSD. Its competitors, such as EMC and Pure Storage, are moving or have already moved to NVMe. HPE should improve this solution for NVMe. HPE should also improve IOs in this solution. IOs in HPE are weaker than Hitachi and Pure Storage."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"We used to receive hardware errors a lot of times. The ambient temperatures rise rate was approximately 35 to 55 degrees, but when it was approximately 27 or 28, we used to get errors a lot."
"We cannot use this storage for critical applications and data."
"They could work to make scalability easier."
"I would like to see improved training offered with HPE Primera."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"There really isn't any aspect of the solution that needs improvement for the customer other than its price."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"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."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
