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.
"The solution is scalable."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related."
"Huawei OceanStor has the capability of SSDs, high-performance disks, and higher disk support."
"It is a highly available product."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"Excellent and efficient support, and the product is a good price."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"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 primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"It is on the expensive side."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"Technical support could be more helpful."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The price could be better. It's not good for the Brazilian market."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"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."
"The built-in reporting tools need some enhancement."
"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."
"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"The product could always be faster."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
