We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Huawei OceanStor Dorado 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."The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerStore is the all-NVMe flash storage. This is the most powerful feature of this series. It supports compression and duplication leads."
"You can add compute and capacity independently. We have sized the solution based on our current needs, but in the future we can choose to increase capacity if we grow our activity in the market. And if we have more business in our monetary system, we can increase compute. The ability to choose what we increase is a good feature."
"PowerStore is easy to use. All the drives use soft encryption. To upgrade it, you download the app, and it runs by itself. It's very easy to deploy, share, and create volumes."
"There is no complicated configuration for queries and calls. You just create a model and go."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerStore are the support for NVMe and SCM, which provides end-to-end performance and high IOPS, minimizing latency. It is a full-fledged storage solution."
"I have found the most valuable part of Dell PowerStore is the price."
"Reliable, with comprehensive features and a well-established support base."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"It is on the expensive side."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The support is not very good."
"Could be improved by including a synchronizing feature for the file systems."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"I have not seen anything specific. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is the price."
"The customer service and support are bad."
"We would consider this solution if the pricing is competitive with other options, as it offers a very good solution. However, the current price is slightly higher than the competition."
"I do not like having to use VPLEX for synchronous replication, as opposed to having the store software built-in."
"The pricing could be lower. It is very expensive."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"The price must be improved."
"In additional features, it would be easier to do snapshots on a regular basis. So, like, a new feature that would allow you to take snapshots every hour."
