We performed a comparison between DDN IntelliFlash and Huawei OceanStor Dorado based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"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."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"It performed great originally, and when it performed great, it was awesome."
"Data Compression: Up to 80% space reduction in the database"
"It provides a combination of all the protocols that you need, without losing deduplication and compression."
"EasyTier/hotcaching: Valuable because it allows greater performance than standard SAS disks"
"It has reduced our electricity usage by reducing the amount of disks needed for the virtual environment."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's very fast. We were seeing read latencies of less than one millisecond. It is robust."
"High performance and ease-of-management are the most valuable features."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"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 solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Technical support is bad. It'd grade them at 30% or 40%. The response time is terrible."
"In the proxy section you can’t choose a user account and password, so it is not allowed at the moment to go out, if customer has such constellation."
"Snapshots are not as easy to access as on a NetApp device."
"Performance is horrible now. Our original intent was to buy new storage in about two years. But since it became a critical urgency for us, we decided to purchase a new one in two or three months."
"It only keeps one hour of real-time data without the ability to do deep analysis of each element."
"We had just one small stability problem with power flapping and it did not start up again automatically. We had to access service ports and manually restart the storage processors."
"They need to offer better integration for a virtual platform to enable you to create hyper-converged solution."
"It's somewhat scalable, but maybe not so much as some of the competition."
"The product could always be faster."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"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."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"The solution's price could be better."
