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."The code upgrades are very smooth."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"Support has been helpful."
"Very efficient storage"
"It is a scalable solution."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."
"The customer support is helpful."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"Some of the most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis are that it's free from Nutanix and it's very stable."
"It is easy to use. One of the things they have as a design goal is to reduce complexity and simplify things."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"Management is simple"
"The solution remains stable across versions."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"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."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The price must be improved."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"It would be great if it could emulate some of the features that their competitor VMware has, for example port mirroring or Netflow output at hypervisor level."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
"It already has the capability to integrate with the major cloud providers but, in an upcoming release, if there is a possibility to have it integrate with other cloud providers like IBM, Alibaba, and other moderate-level cloud providers, that would be good."
"Our client had some old Citrix Xen servers for which there is no direct migration. Nutanix has a move utility for Microsoft Hyper-V clusters or VMware clusters. You can easily migrate them using the move utility, but the Xen clusters cannot be migrated in a simple way. That is the only thing that is lacking, but nowadays, no one uses the Citrix Xen server for their clusters. Everything else is already there. Nutanix keeps on upgrading its hardware's or hypervisor's capability to be able to support new technologies."
