We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ 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 most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The solution is very reliable."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"From a single panel, I can see the performance of my service, my network, and my storage."
"The solution is stable."
"The overall quality of the product is fantastic. Advanced Optimization is one of the best features I never thought I needed until I actually used it and saw it in action."
"Its stability is the most valuable. It has soft alerts. When an alert is raised, we get a call from HP saying that there is this type of alert, and they need to do a remote session to check things. Similarly, for firmware updates, they get in touch to say that a firmware upgrade is required on your storage. They schedule a time and take control remotely to upgrade the firmware. In all such cases, there is no downtime. Everything is done when a full-fledged operation is going on. Its user interface is also quite good. We are quite accustomed to this user interface. We can easily take a look at the current usage or the amount of storage. It is quite easily understandable, and I can present those things to my seniors or other people who are not that tech-savvy, and they can easily understand what we are trying to tell them. We can easily show them that we are using around 87% of the storage, so we need to plan for another tree and things like that."
"The deduplication functionality is great. We have seen a lot of benefits in the deduplication ratio. So, it has proven that it is a good cost savings."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"It was the easiest SAN that I have ever set up."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"It is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"We understand that they're thinking about it, but one of the things that would be nice is if they added some basic file-level capabilities to the platform. The idea is that they would run a basic NFS or CIF share from the controllers. FlashBlade is the powerhouse for File and Object storage, but if you don't need all that power, a lightweight file function would make FlashArrays more versatile."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"The engagement of the tool's vendor is costly."
"The product is quite expensive."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."
"I would like to be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
"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."
"The price must be improved."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
