We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 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."It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"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."
"It simplifies storage."
"The solution is scalable."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Great value for money."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"Nutanix has several unique capabilities to ensure linear scalability."
"It has solid performance and provides data locality."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"Acropolis AOS's networking concept is excellent."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"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 need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"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."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"The self-service side of the product needs to be improved. We should be able to add two-factor authentication and more security layers to it."
"Deployment could be more user-friendly - currently, it requires certain skills with the network and nodes."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
