We performed a comparison between DDN IntelliFlash and Huawei OceanStor Dorado based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"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."
"The technical support is very good."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"It performed great originally, and when it performed great, it was awesome."
"It has reduced our electricity usage by reducing the amount of disks needed for the virtual environment."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Data Compression: Up to 80% space reduction in the database"
"It's very fast. We were seeing read latencies of less than one millisecond. It is robust."
"EasyTier/hotcaching: Valuable because it allows greater performance than standard SAS disks"
"It provides a combination of all the protocols that you need, without losing deduplication and compression."
"High performance and ease-of-management are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The customer support is helpful."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"The file functionality could be better."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"Technical support is bad. It'd grade them at 30% or 40%. The response time is terrible."
"Performance is horrible now. Our original intent was to buy new storage in about two years. But since it became a critical urgency for us, we decided to purchase a new one in two or three months."
"Snapshots are not as easy to access as on a NetApp device."
"In the proxy section you can’t choose a user account and password, so it is not allowed at the moment to go out, if customer has such constellation."
"It only keeps one hour of real-time data without the ability to do deep analysis of each element."
"We had just one small stability problem with power flapping and it did not start up again automatically. We had to access service ports and manually restart the storage processors."
"They need to offer better integration for a virtual platform to enable you to create hyper-converged solution."
"It's somewhat scalable, but maybe not so much as some of the competition."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"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."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
