We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and Tintri VMstore 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 most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"The performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"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."
"Two things really stand out for me. First, there's group cloning, which is very nice. It simplifies managing multiple clones across the group. Second, Huawei's multi-controller architecture with load balancing is a good part."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"It is very easy to use."
"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."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"The price must be improved."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only goes to AWS and IBM Cloud, and we don't use either because we're Microsoft Silver Partners. It would be great to get the Cloud Connector feature with Azure. If it's not already on Tintri's roadmap, that's something I'd like to see."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
