"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."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"It is very easy to use."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The customer support is helpful."
"It’s simple to use hardware to fix performance issues. Our issue is poor coding/queries. This greatly speeded things up. It’s too costly to track down poor programming in applications. The price of a developer’s time to scan through all the coding is high compared to buying Violin."
"VIOLIN QV2020 is the latest in terms of performance. It has high-speed data access and processing capabilities, distinguishing it as a leader in its storage solutions category."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"They could improve the price."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The price must be improved."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"VIMM replacement is poorly designed. You have to slide out an entire drawer, remove the cover and then pop out the failed VIMM. I would like to see a front replacement just like with hard disks. This leaves room for error; for example, when you slide it out from the rack, you are moving cables along the cable management arm. This leaves the possibility of accidentally unplugging a cable from the array if it is not seated properly. Also, you might pinch the cables when sliding it back into the server rack."
"I set up Wi-Fi for storage, and since then, we haven't experienced any interruptions in service."
