We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Huawei OceanStor 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 scalability is good."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"The solution is very reliable."
"FlashArray has many valuable features. It's very user-friendly and it has high availability, so there is comparatively less downtime. During maintenance, there is no shutdown procedure, so you can directly power off the Array and manage the shutdown process without any data loss, which is a unique feature. Managing replication and data migration is also very easy."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"It is a highly available product."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"Automation could be simplified."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"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."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"Management: At the time, there was no snapshot scheduler, so I had to write XSnapCourier to address it. The sad thing is that even after the newest release, which includes a native scheduler, most customers using XSnapCourier chose to stick with it due to a more feature-rich experience."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"Unfortunately, this product doesn't support Flash Disks, but it's IOPS capacity is a great compromise."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
