We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor and Huawei OceanStor Dorado based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Huawei OceanStor Dorado came out ahead of Huawei OceanStor. Although the two products have straightforward deployment and multiple valuable features, our reviewers found Huawei OceanStor more expensive and that it needs to improve its technical support.
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"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."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"Huawei OceanStor has the capability of SSDs, high-performance disks, and higher disk support."
"Great value for money."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"This is a stable storage system."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The product offers good performance."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"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."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"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."
"The software layer has to improve."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"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."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The product could always be faster."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
