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."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."
"HPE Primera is stable."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex."
"The product has better replication features than the previous products."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the artificial intelligence for the storage inside of the software and firmware because customers do not like functionalities which require manual interruption."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We've encountered issues in the past where maintaining a read-only state is essential to prevent data encryption when VPN access is impacted."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"We cannot use this storage for critical applications and data."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"Like most storage, we want to see flash become more and more stable. Like any flash that uses MLC or TLC techniques, over time, the more writes you have, the less usable the storage becomes. They try to plan for this and have a lot of extra space in the arrays, but over time, their performance does degrade. This is true for any flash storage."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"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."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
