We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO 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."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 standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Very good IOPS performance"
"Speed and reliability:"
"The program is very stable."
"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 product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The integrated Huawei Flash technology within OceanStor Dorado stands out as one of the most valuable features."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"It is very easy to use."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"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 more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"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."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"Dell's technical support could be better."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"The product could always be faster."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
