We performed a comparison between Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series and Huawei OceanStor Dorado based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance is very good."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"Hitachi should launch some small machines in Brazil. The smallest machine here in Brazil is VSP 350, which can be quite big for some of the customers. In China, Hitachi has small models of this equipment, but those models are not available in our region. Its pricing is a big issue for us. We are resellers, and we face some competition from other vendors. Hitachi doesn't always have a good position in terms of the price. Its user interface is also not as good as some of the other competitors, and it can be improved."
"I would like to see Hitachi improve their management software. It's been three years since they introduced Ops Center, their management product, and it still hasn't reached at least 50 percent of the capability we require. We are using legacy software because the product Hitachi offers does not stack up in functionality."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The product could always be faster."
