We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and Pure Storage FlashArray 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 latency is good."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The solution is scalable."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"The customer support is helpful."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"We need better data deduplication."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"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."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
