We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor 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."The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"If your virtual machine that resides on it completely fills the storage space, thanks to it's built-in function of all-zero data space reclamation, you just have to ask to System Engineer to run a zero-free on hosts (thin provisioned) and you will get more space instantaneously."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"Unfortunately, this product doesn't support Flash Disks, but it's IOPS capacity is a great compromise."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"Huawei OceanStor should work on its saturation level and should be able to take up more load. It should give the same performance that it gives at 20 or 30 percent load for 80 percent as well."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
