"The most valuable feature is data mirroring."
"The stability is awesome. The product has always been reliable. It has been 100 percent up. We have never had any downtime with it. Even if a controller fails due to our firmware or whatever, it rolls over to the second one and keeps us running."
"The most useful features are high availability and the storage snapshot backup functionality."
"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."
"InfoSight is helpful because it is proactive support."
"InfoSight is a valuable feature."
"Has good capacity, is effective and easy to manage."
"Most of the features which all enterprises storages solutions have are available in Huawei OceanStor Dorado."

"The customer support is helpful."
"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 a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We need better data deduplication."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."

"Nimble Storage could increase its flexibility by adding more protocol options. Nimble mainly uses fibre channel protocols, whereas many other storage arrays support fibre channel, iCSI, and NFS protocols."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be ideal."
"The solution needs to be an active-active controller."
"I would like to see native network attached storage (NAS) functionality. Our customers are looking for NAS, and Nimble can't give it to them."
"I would like to see integration with OneView, at least for reporting or some sort of monitoring."
"HPE Nimble Storage's cost is very high, making it one of its downsides."
"I would like to see greater integration with Microsoft's Hyper-V platform."
"The most difficult part about Nimble was the fact that it didn't have a standard length."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"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."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
