Featured Reviews

Amir Azmy - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and useful product that enables organizations to use any software or database
My data is not big enough to scale up, so I do not need scalability. HPE Hyper Converged is a stable and useful product. If we add more hard disks, we will need a larger power supply to run them. Overall, I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
VISHWAJITSHAH - PeerSpot reviewer
Combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place
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. I've noticed a slight impact on performance, especially with high-end computing virtual machines for SAP HANA. While I don't have concrete data to support this observation, customers have raised concerns about discrepancies in performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has many good features."
"The solution's most valuable features are scalability, easy migration, easy recovery, and flexible backup possibilities."
"What I really like about this program, is that it needs little space and it works really fast, so it saves us time."
"Ease of management, as I come from a software background, and I'm responsible for IT overall. I can get in there and turn some nuts and bolts and make things happen without any trouble."
"One of the good features would be the fast backup solution Hyper Converged offers, which is more efficient compared to other vendors."
"The provisioning is very fast. It’s not a problem for us to achieve the goals of the client."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The HPE Hyper Converged solution is used in a hybrid cloud configuration. We assess the disk space and partition additional capacity."
"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 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 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."
 

Cons

"Its technical support services could be faster."
"The price can be improved. We would like to see support for some open source virtualization technology like for example KVM."
"I would like to see a more intuitive, user-friendly UI."
"The solution would be better served if it integrated with other solutions better."
"The storage efficiency is weak and needs to be improved."
"If the solution could further compress the data, it would use less storage."
"Could be more secure and more economical."
"Scalability requires using additional nodes."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too expensive for our customers. The pricing should be lower."
"It is an expensive solution, however. If they could adjust the pricing, that would be helpful."
"The solution is expensive - not only the hardware costs but server costs too. And the more you scale, the more expensive it gets."
"It could be cheaper, everything could be cheaper."
"There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We have a very good return on investment due to data savings through compression and deduplication methods. It simplifies IT management and enhances security, including the end-to-end security of the IT data engine. The product is complete, simple, and provides visibility."
"Pricing with Dell EMC is double the price which I paid for HPE. However, in the end, Dell EMC is double in performance. This is not an apple to apple comparison though, as I have a four node from Dell EMC and a three node."
"The price per value compared to other solutions, like Nutanix and SimpliVity. (We made the deal before approval of HPE SimpliVity deal)."
"The price of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is very good. There is a perpetual license for the solution, there are not any additional costs for the hardware. We have a license in case there is any new functionality that is required."
"I rate Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure's pricing a six out of ten."
