We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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."We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"It's actually very stable"
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."
"The speed is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The fact that you can manage the requirements is one the most valuable features of HPE Nimble Storage. The other is the rapid deployment time."
"VMware integration, why is pretty self-explanatory."
"They could probably improve an organization with just about anything. It is all a matter of ease of use, ease of the implementation, etc."
"If a ransomware or enterprise-level attack happens, my infrastructure remains totally secure. If any virtual machine gets damaged or collapses, we have built a backup solution, which will take a minute to restore the same version of HPE Nimble Storage in our company."
"We get storage access without the need for more human monitoring of those resources."
"Deduplication and compression."
"We use a platform as a service and have multiple application vendors who comprise that platform. There are moments when those application vendors put the blame on us. By working in InfoSight, I am able to say, "No, it is not us." I can actually provide proof, either by using screenshots or through reporting."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The product offers good performance."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"It is very easy to use."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"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."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"HPE Nimble Storage could be improved with some critical application or servers."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"I’d like to see in-line deduplication extended to Nimble non-flash (called “Hybrid”) arrays, even if it’s only the C500 and higher controllers that support it."
"There are customers who want to do some different things with the Microsoft Resilient File System. There are some customers who want to do different types of connectivity. I do not know if I would call that an improvement, necessarily, because if you want that, you should get a different product."
"I think the scalability of HPE Nimble Storage could be improved."
"I wish they would put the InfoSight page back the way it was. I got in it for the first time about two years ago, and it looked the same for about a year and a half. Then, about six months ago, it changed. There are different options now. I can still get to where I need to go, but it feels like it takes longer, where before it didn't. Also, I felt like I had a lot more options before. I have to do a lot more to digging now to get to where I need to go. I just wish they had their old page back."
"The backup solution that they are using now probably has not been deduped."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"The price must be improved."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
