Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"The speed is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"It is easy to deploy and it's all-flash, so it's very fast."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"It is a highly available product."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"Automated tiering and inline data deduplication."
"We can offer a lot more storage to our end users."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
