I rate the initial setup process a nine out of ten. It just requires one person to manage the maintenance. They provide a console with intuitive tools. It sends alerts whenever some improvements in terms of performance or reliability need to be made. The equipment has many intelligent features.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado generates a good return on investment. I rate the ROI an eight out of ten. The total cost of ownership is low than other companies.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado has a competitive price compared to other solutions like EMC, IBM, and HPE. I rate its pricing a seven or eight.

I rate Huawei OceanStor Dorado a ten out of ten.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado is used for storing data.

We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols.

I have been using Huawei OceanStor Dorado for approximately two months.

The solution is stable.

The implementation was simple.

The price of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is very inexpensive, it cost approximately $5 per gigabyte.

I rate Huawei OceanStor Dorado a seven out of ten.

We primarily use it for on-premises storage.

I'm using it with VMware and then with AIX systems, AIX power systems, and VMware as the VMFS.

Overall, it works fine. 

It's really easy to use. Its interface is very good. 

The solution can scale.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

With Huawei Durado we have some issues regarding the connectivity with the AIX system. It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems.

IBM flash is much better than Huawei, with respect to the response time and performance.

One thing that is really a little annoying is the graphical interface regarding the performance and iOS. That is a little complicated. The GUI could be better with respect to performance.

With in-place upgrades, the data should really be right on the desktop. If you want to move to the next version of the box, for example, if I have a Durado 3000 and want to move towards a 6000 version, it should have an in-place upgrade, rather than a complete migration requirement.

I've used the solution for around two years or so.

The solution is scalable. It has two controllers and if I want to move to the next version, it's in place. However, an upgrade is not possible with Durado.

To date, we have not needed support. Fortunately, right now, there has been no hardware failure or system failure. It's been very good in terms of working without issues, therefore, I can't speak to any knowledge of how technical support works. I've never dealt with them. 

We also use IBM, and I find its performance to be better. It also has better response times. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The deployment process is very short. It just takes ten to 20 minutes. It's very fast. It's shouldn't take any longer than that. 

I'm already a technical person, so I don't find any difficulty with the setup process. I can handle it myself. I do not need an integrator or consultant to assist me. 

I had all the licenses initially bought. I couldn't speak to the licensing, as I have bought all the licenses initially.

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's good storage. It is compatible with other operating systems. IBM has much better performance in the same category box, however. I rank the IBM option much higher. 

In general, I would rate this product at an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for a customer's company. We're resellers. 

The compression on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution at this time.

I'm a reseller and consultant. 

I'd a good solution that offers very good value for money. 

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

The installation is not overly complex. it's not difficult. It's straightforward. We didn't have any issues with the setup process.

It's a hardware installation. Afterward, the software installation is done for management purposes.

We have four people on staff that can handle any maintenance required. They are all engineers.

We used a Huawei consultant. The process went smoothly and we were happy to have their assistance.

It's my understanding that we paid a one-time licensing fee.

We're a customer and an end-user.

We use the Dorado 6000 model and it is the latest version.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten overall. We have been quite satisfied with the solution.

I'd definitely recommend the solution to others.
