We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor 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."It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"Pure Storage technology allowed us to automate tasks, reducing something which started as a 12-hour turnaround down to about 15 minutes."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"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."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
