We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO 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."The predictive performance analytics are good."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%."
"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."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The program is very stable."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"The performance is good."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"It is very easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"The solution is not cheap."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"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."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"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."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
