We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and Huawei OceanStor Dorado 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 feature is its speed."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Quick recovery."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The scalability is very good."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The customer support is helpful."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"It is very easy to use."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The solution is scalable."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"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."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
