We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Huawei OceanStor Dorado 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."Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The latency is good."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The simplicity and ease of use have been very valuable features. I have a very small team, and only half of the team is well versed in the HP product. Whereas if I bring PowerStore in, everyone can learn it because it will be new on the floor."
"It is very easy to use. Access is very friendly. It shows you a lot of important information at the first glance. It has been very easy to use."
"The PowerStore's compression ratio is even higher than the Unity system."
"Typically, high-performance and high-availability features, such as application snapshots and remote and local replication, are highly valued."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"The supportability of SCME drives for faster data access from the PowerStore and is the most valuable feature."
"Dell PowerStore is an easy and fast tool to work through our company's data."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product offers good performance."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The NAS part is very poor. It's very basic. Even Dell EMC has said that to us. We are waiting for version 3 of PowerStore for that. This must be improved and it is in the roadmap."
"You cannot delegate permissions."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Reporting is an area that could be improved. It's very simplistic sometimes, and some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details and be able to massage the report a little bit better."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"Data reduction needs improvement."
"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"The cost of technical support is high."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"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."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
