We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 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."Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"Its most valuable feature is simplicity. It is so easy to use. Upgrades are easy. It is easy in terms of disaster recovery, failover, database provisioning, and reporting. Everything about it is just simple."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"We understand that they're thinking about it, but one of the things that would be nice is if they added some basic file-level capabilities to the platform. The idea is that they would run a basic NFS or CIF share from the controllers. FlashBlade is the powerhouse for File and Object storage, but if you don't need all that power, a lightweight file function would make FlashArrays more versatile."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"The price must be improved."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"In terms of automation, I know there are ways to do it, but it's not very user-friendly. I've been working for the last three years with Nutanix and I've managed to automate certain things, but it's a somewhat more complex job than it should be. I would like to see more documentation or knowledge base articles."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
"As far as what could be improved, they have some built-in backup functions already, but any built-in isolation features like vision security features and free LAN features become a security concern."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
