We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and VAST Data 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."My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"Support has been helpful."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"The solution is scalable."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"The solution's price could be better."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The product could always be faster."
"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."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
