Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"The all-flash disc is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"Latency is definitely the big key for us."
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"Data reduction and snapshot abilities: Smaller footprint in the datacenter (lower cost for power, cooling, etc.)."
"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.)."
"The GUI is very straightforward and easy to use."
"Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the always-on data deduplication."
"Inline compression"
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"The file functionality could be better."
"Automation could be simplified."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"The management graphical interface needs more improvement."
"I'm hoping to see Active Directory integration. Right now, you still have to use a local admin account to log in and manage everything."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI."
