We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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 initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Even if one control fails, it automatically turns on the other controller and everything moves from one to the second instantaneously without any issues."
"The most valuable features are its cost-effectiveness, performance, and its deduplication deficiencies."
"The solution's predictive analytics is good. It helps to save costs."
"The storage capacity efficiency is phenomenal. It is off the charts in comparison to the compression ratios that we got before. We are able to save a lot more to the device."
"It's very stable and fast, and I am very happy with the deduplication. It saves a lot of space, which is great."
"The performance and the processor are good."
"It's easy to use, it's just like 3PAR. I made clusters of 32 hosts with 50 volumes and that took barely an hour. I scripted a lot of it, filled in the names of volumes, the names of servers."
"InfoSight has allowed us to centralize our management, understanding how it correlates to the array. It has identified a network issue in the network configuration of ESXi hosts. It enables us to get servers back up faster by 25 percent."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"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."
"The deduplication features and the graphical user interface (GUI) of the solution are the most valuable to me."
"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 performance is good."
"The solution's pricing is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"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."
"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."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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."
"We need better data deduplication."
"It was a bit expensive."
"The solution that I have is a hybrid, not a full flash. The hybrid version could be improved."
"The resellers did the implementation of the solution, we did not do it ourselves. We have ten people for the deployment of the solution."
"The HPE Nimble Storage could have better integration with monitoring and machine learning system information solutions."
"The solution should allow for easier configurations."
"I think the scalability of HPE Nimble Storage could be improved."
"They keep talking about doing one-to-many replication. This is what we'd like to see, just to help with data replication."
"We want to start storing data in the cloud really soon and we are looking at options."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
