We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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 features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"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."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"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."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"We sold Primera to a public university, and they're happy with it. They have been using it for about four months with no significant problems."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The greatest advantage is the support when we encounter incidents, as HPE's support is highly responsive."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"Two things really stand out for me. First, there's group cloning, which is very nice. It simplifies managing multiple clones across the group. Second, Huawei's multi-controller architecture with load balancing is a good part."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"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."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"On the controller side, I would like to see NAS capabilities."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"Price is always important in Turkey, so HPE could lower the price to keep it competitive. It's not as competitive as other solutions in this market."
"The solution has good performance but it could improve further."
"HPE Primera's deduplication area is not as good as the one offered by Dell PowerStore, making it an area where improvements are required."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The technology and the features need improvement."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
