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 performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"There was a dramatic improvement in operating costs just as a result of the environmentals and space, let alone the cost of the unit itself."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"Because we were able to afford to go all flash, we don't manage the tiers, we're not moving data up, and we're not waiting for overnight cycles."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"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 solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"The most valuable feature would be the ease of deployment. That is the most significant feature for me because I've worked with multiple vendors and it's always been very complicated to install the software and get everything running."
"What I like the most are the high-availability and scalability."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"The product is easy to manage."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"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."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"When we have issues with the solution, they tend to be around networking."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
"The licenses for Nutanix are very complicated."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
