We performed a comparison between Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and VxRail based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two HCI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"The install itself is easy as pie."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"The iSCSI protocol is quite simple to configure."
"Integration with virtualization platforms helped us to resolve many issues we were facing while using the physical storage."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"The ROI is great on this product."
"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."

"t's a very good solution with multiple options with VxRail series like based on customer requirements whether they're focused on compute, storage, scalability and high performance, etc. Whether a customer you are going to start your IT Infrastructure footprint with a limited budget, you have freedom of choice and non-disruptive expansion in the future, whether in the main data center or branches. Any idea coming in system admins mind to run this setup continuously and keep service 100% 24/7 is possible in this product line. Hyper-converged appliances allow a datacenter in a box approach, with G, E P, Vand P series."
"The most valuable features are ease of management and ease of applying updates."
"VxRail has improved our organization by providing our admin team with an easy-to-use interface."
"This solution optimizes our clients' resources."
"VxRail's integration with VMware environments is very good. Our VxRail is built on VMware, and the integration is seamless. We haven't faced any challenges. We can migrate VMs between servers in real-time and replicate them to our DR site without any problems."
"VxRail does not require fiber switches or external storage. It's easy to replace and manage. It's centralized management through VxRail Manager."
"For me, VxRail's most valuable feature is its life-cycle management."
"RecoverPoint give us peace of mind knowing any corruption or server issue can be rectified very quickly, making sure the business impact is minimal."
"StarWind relies on the underlying OS to manage the "SAN files" whether that would be a RAID volume, software RAID (such as LVM), etc. It would be useful if StarWind could incorporate the actual physical drive management inside of the solution, similar to Storage Spaces Direct."
"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"This product could be improved with the inclusion of new health check procedures."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"This product would benefit from having automated alerting functionality."
"The documentation can be better for the free tier."
"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."

"What I did not like so much was the amount of VMware that you have to put in your system related to the VxRail."
"The upgrade packages require a lot of bandwidth. This could be reduced for an improved experience."
"The initial setup was not that easy, it was a medium difficulty level."
"We have some issues, but they are possibly out-of-the-box issues. There was a host that was dead on arrival, and there were some file issues on other hosts. We're currently working actively with Dell to resolve all these issues. Once they are resolved, the product should be stable."
"The UI could be a little more informative."
"The licensing is a bit too costly."
"The implementation of a VxRail, it's straightforward, but the ongoing utilization, and integration, are where it can start to become difficult if you're not used to doing it."
"Sometimes during implementation, you can some scripting errors. And there are some issues when we update the version. There are some issues like the version will not get updated or stable at some time. Dell needs to resolve these problems, we don't waste time fixing them."
