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."It also provides a high degree of mobility, as the virtual SAN can be moved relatively painlessly between on-site devices and the cloud."
"StarWind is very easy to use, even if you have had no experience using a SAN before."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"The ability to run a two-node cluster without a dedicated witness has made this an excellent product for small deployments, which is right on target for our needs in regional offices."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"The StarWind Virtual SAN management console is intuitive and easy to use."
"You can turn your local disk storage into high-availability iSCSI storage."
"The price of the solution is good, especially when it comes to complex network solutions, such as UCS and Connect."
"Cisco offers very good quality."
"The most valuable feature is that it is something small that can be more easily deployed than a full data center set of servers."
"The UCS, which is by far the best management tool there is on the market, regardless of vendor. It's the only tool I see that gives you the opportunity to size and scale all the assets and capacity you have in your data center, from a unified view."
"With our four HyperFlex HX hosts (consisting of processor, memory, and disk), the performance is very fast and we have no problems at all. In all of the five years that we have been using HyperFlex, we haven't needed to increase our budget to buy additional hosts."
"It's very easy to use and quite a mature product."
"I find the usability very valuable."
"We are providing this solution for the customer or converting the customer from a traditional environment to a hyper-converged environment which consolidates all management and support on a single port. This is the main benefit of using the hyper-converged versus the traditional."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"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 product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."
"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 pricing of the solution is excellent. It's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei. It's much, much better than VMware."

"Having more support plan options would be nice."
"It runs until it does not - and disaster recovery documentation is sparse and mostly unclear."
"While StarWind.com excels in numerous areas, there are a couple of notable functionalities that it currently lacks. One of these is duplication, which could be an invaluable feature for data redundancy and backup purposes. The ability to duplicate data across different storage locations can be crucial for safeguarding against data loss, and its absence is a minor limitation in an otherwise stellar offering."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"The setup and documentation for the installation with the free version could definitely be improved."
"I wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"The management console of StarWind Virtual SAN is pretty complex."
"I would like to see them expand onto the cloud."
"Sometimes when there are multiple technologies involved in a support case, this is when there is a bit of a lag."
"We had a bit of complexity to think about how to migrate our legacy infrastructure into Cisco HyperFlex."
"With the cache disk fails in Cisco, the whole node fails, and the workload goes down."
"It is quite new solution, so it is not very stable."
"There should be the opportunity to create more than one div group"
"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."
"The architecture separates data, computing, memory, and storage into different parts."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"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."
