We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce 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 speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"I think StoreOnce's deduplication technology is crucial for cost efficiency and faster recovery, especially for backup and data protection purposes."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor has the capability of SSDs, high-performance disks, and higher disk support."
"If your virtual machine that resides on it completely fills the storage space, thanks to it's built-in function of all-zero data space reclamation, you just have to ask to System Engineer to run a zero-free on hosts (thin provisioned) and you will get more space instantaneously."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"Huawei OceanStor provides numerous features that are tailored to cater to the requirements of all types of companies."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"The price should be lower."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"Huawei OceanStor should work on its saturation level and should be able to take up more load. It should give the same performance that it gives at 20 or 30 percent load for 80 percent as well."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"CFS integration is one area where OceanStor has some room for improvement. The CFS on OceanStor is dedicated, so it's not integrated with the existing active directory domain."
"Unfortunately, this product doesn't support Flash Disks, but it's IOPS capacity is a great compromise."
