We performed a comparison between Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] and Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."PowerShell library is pretty good feature as I created with APC PowerChute a script to put volumes on maintenance mode then turning off the StarWind nodes together with the VM and Hosts when UPS reaches 15 percent, this way after a blackout or electrical problems when turning servers on again, there is no issues for syncing or data loss due to energy interrupts."
"The best part is the easy way it operates with a very clear GUI without any unnecessary items."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"The StarWind Virtual SAN provides a clever and unique solution to the Computing Split Brain problem."
"StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere is a software-defined storage solution that has reduced administration time for storage. It's pretty straightforward to install and setup it and so far it has been robust and worked as advertised from StarWind."
"The primary purpose of this software is to create a virtual SAN between local storage on Hyper-V hosts. I find this feature most valuable since it accomplishes this quite well."
"When we need additional storage but want to keep the size of the SANs manageable, the StarWind Virtual SAN has allowed me to do everything needed."
"Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is simple to use, user-friendly and has been best for our purposes."
"Stretch cluster allows us to warranty a service for the customer."
"The speed, storage, and management are the most valuable features."
"Easily facilitates remote work opportunities with storage and compute resources."
"The most valuable features are scalability and the easy operation - if it works. You can configure everything from just one window."
"The most important benefits that we've seen from this solution is that it reduces the cost of management and it has easy monitoring systems."
"It is helpful as a backup solution."
"The compression and deduplication are very high. Therefore, we can use the size of the product more efficiently than other storage solutions."
"The best thing about the solution is that it combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place. Unlike the traditional three-tier setup, you don't need to buy separate devices for each part. This makes it much easier to control and manage everything in one go without switching between different places for different tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"The product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."
"The pricing of the solution is excellent. It's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei. It's much, much better than VMware."
"The solution is stable and everything is taken care of through the Huawei support center. They ensure everything is running smoothly. It's been very good."

"The Command Center, a free guest VM for management and monitoring, leaves something to be desired. It could have more accurate real-time information and better reporting visuals, which seem to be an afterthought."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"Performance when in storage-separate configuration needs to be improved."
"There is one issue as far as licensing goes and that is a lack of documentation online for users when transitioning from the free version to the paid version, or vice versa."
"It is hard to find adequate technical documentation on their support website."
"They require more media visibility."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"It took a bit of knowledge and support to put in place but once installed it works fine. Migration (HyperV) from one server to another sometimes takes longer than expected but there is no data loss even if the host crashes."
"We would like to see better integration in the next release of this solution."
"A stretch function is really needed. Germans think that because of the high availability and the security that two data centers are better but we want edge all in one cluster. This is a needed feature, the cluster feature, and we'd also like to see a possibility for ROBO offices."
"It needs more detailed documentation."
"We'd like the product to offer better integration with other products."
"The initial setup of profiles and templates could be improved. Maybe some end profiles that you can use based on your type of deployment would be good."
"Their technical support is very bad. We had an issue where instead of an engineer we got a PDF "doctor" that didn't know anything about our problem which was very frustrating."
"I would have liked it to be able to back up the system to a cloud, to be able to work from any other place"
"Deployment on-prem was quite difficult."
"Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure could improve the security of the solution. However, we are comfortable using it. Additionally, there could be more information provided for the solution and the interface could be more user-friendly."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"t would be helpful if the solution was able to collaborate or integrate with other well-known monitoring tools. Right now, you have to work hard to get it configured. It would be a good selling point for them if they could open up their solution to more integrations."
"I want the product to be used more efficiently and for our system to connect easily with cloud services like AWS, Oracle, and IBM. We can also improve by adding advanced features like snapshots, replication, and encryption, allowing for more growth. Introducing features such as data duplication, data analytics, and AI-driven insights will improve its deployments."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
