Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Automation could be simplified."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"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."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
