I have used many other solutions from different vendors, such as Cisco, EMC, HP, and Dell.

The deployment of EMC is on one click. Huawei deployment is a little complex and could be simplified.

We are mostly trained in Cisco, EMC, HP, and Dell. This is why we had some problems. 

Huawei has integration tools and their support team did everything for us, it went very smoothly.

The price of the solution is reasonable. There is not a vendor that offers an All-Flash Storage Array at the price of Huawei OceanStor Dorado. The other solutions are approximately 50% higher.

Huawei OceanStor Dorado does a great job in providing all the major features other enterprise-level solutions offer but at a reduced price. It is a reliable product and you can have peace of mind.

If you have proper planning then the solution will work well. However, if the company does not want a Chinese product they do not have to purchase it.

I have evaluated Dell EMC and Hitachi solutions.

I rate Huawei OceanStor Dorado a six out of ten.

The most valuable feature is Snap Mirroring.

If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature.

We have been using Huawei OceanStor Dorado for between four and five years.

This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production. We plan to continue using it.

This solution is scalable and you can expand it to petabytes. We have more than 500 users.

Huawei's technical support is very advanced. Customers can directly approach a Huawei technical person by logging a ticket and providing an email address. They will definitely respond in one or two hours.

The support is fast but the customer needs to understand what data they need for support.

We call use another storage product, the Dell EMC Unity 300.

The installation and configuration are quite simple.

The length of time required for deployment depends on your scenario. If you deploy it as a DR site, it will take between three and four hours to complete. This includes all of the features.

We implemented and deployed in-house.

Not many people are needed for deployment maintenance. A minimum of two people can deploy and manage it.

All of the brands have different architectures for licensing. Some licenses come standard with the product, whereas some you need to buy.

The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use.

We have been dealing with Huawei for the past 10 years.

This is a stable solution.

It is very easy to scale products by Huawei.

Most of our clients who purchase this product are small and medium-sized businesses, although we do have some enterprise-level customers.

Huawei provides different types of services in our region. There are Hi-Care and Co-Care. The Hi-Care services are provided directly by Huawei, whereas Co-Care services are handled by partners. Overall, the support is fine.

I have experience with solutions from other vendors such as Dell EMC and NetApp. The initial setup is easiest with Huawei.

The initial setup is very simple. It will take only five or ten minutes for deployment and the initial tests.

My company has an in-house team that handles the implementation and services for our clients. If the client purchases a maintenance contract then we take care of that, as well.

There are some costs in addition to the standard licensing fees, depending on the requirements. Examples of these are the HyperMetro, HyperReplication, and HyperSnapshot (HyperSnap) features.

My advice to anybody who is considering OceanStor Dorado is that it is a very reliable solution with good features. It is a well-established product.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We are an IT distributor and this is one of the storage solutions that we implement for our clients. The primary use case is for VMware virtualization, although it is also used for database system storage. Oracle and other SQL databases require a lot of performance in terms of IO per second, which is met by using OceanStore Dorado.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio. It is a very good price compared to other products and taking the performance into account, it is probably the best price-to-performance ratio on the market right now.

This solution is easy to manage and storage can be provisioned in a very easy way.

The logistics can be improved because sometimes we have to wait a long time for the product to be delivered, despite there being stores available in Europe. Some of our customers are discouraged due to this long wait time.

The marketing for this product needs to be improved because it does not have enough exposure.

This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0. However, I do not feel that this is necessary.

I have about a year and a half of experience with OceanStor Dorado.

The product is stable. We have not had any complaints about the features or stability of this solution from our customers.

I have not been in contact with technical support, and I have not heard that any of our customers have needed to contact them either.

I am also familiar with Pure Storage. They have a nice product and they concentrate only on storage solutions. It is very easy to manage, as well.

I have also worked with storage solutions by Fujitsu and HPE.

The initial setup is short and rather straightforward. One person can do it on their own.

The length of time required for deployment varies depending on how complex the environment is. For example, the simple provision of storage is very easy, but it is always connected through some kind of SAN so it can take time. However, the product itself takes an hour, at most, to deploy.

We are the distributors for this product and our resellers are the ones who do the implementation and deployment.

There are lots of features included with this solution and some of them require additional licensing, such as creating high availability storage using a cluster.

In Poland, cloud-based workloads are just starting to be adopted. For the time being, the majority of solutions are still deployed on-premises.

Overall, this is a good product that performs well and is easy to manage. Everything that is required by the market, this product already has.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
