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."All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"Speed and reliability:"
"The program is very stable."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"This is a stable storage system."
"Huawei OceanStor has the capability of SSDs, high-performance disks, and higher disk support."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"Generally stable with good technical support."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"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."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"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."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
