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."We like their high availability. It reduces the downtime for our entire organization's environment."
"Starwind support is excellent. They are very fast and have very good knowledge of Starwind and Hyper-V Cluster software."
"The most valuable feature is the reliable storage replication, which enables me to create a robust infrastructure to run our business."
"Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"The most valuable feature is the managed service, which has been an important part of monitoring our critical infrastructure."
"The solution is also quite flexible. As an example, other vSAN solutions that we looked at had more stringent requirements regarding mixed HDD/SSD storage which wouldn't have worked in our environment."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"The fact that we can expand our storage and add on to our compute nodes easily and how amazing the StarWind technical support team is really adding value to our purchase."
"It saves space for data centers, which is good."
"Performance-wise, everything is good. So far, we haven't had any issues. There has been no downtime at all."
"The implementation process is okay."
"This is not the only product we use, so we have other solutions to compare it with. We can compare different products and different vendors and tell our customers which products have which advantages and disadvantages so that they can leverage these products in their own environment. This product helps us to understand the customer's needs and what issues they can run into."
"Deduplication is a valuable feature available in Cisco HyperFlex."
"The most valuable features are scalability and the easy operation - if it works. You can configure everything from just one window."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With our partners and the consultancy that we had, we knew what we wanted to do. Therefore, we didn't have any problems with the installation and parametrization."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"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."

"While we had little to no issues in setting up StarWind and received excellent support from the StarWind technicians, we would have appreciated a clearer guideline for a setup with the free version of StarWind Management Console or, in other words - for the setup with the PowerShell."
"The software could benefit from more tooling to help with initial deployment."
"We would like the documentation to be more complete. Most items are covered, but if you don't know something, you may need to contact their support."
"It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted."
"The reconnection of the attached drives upon a reboot could be improved."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"I wish the sync after a failure, such as hardware failure or power-related issues, for example, was faster."
"Server-side snapshots are one thing the Linux appliance can't do yet."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"I would like to see them expand onto the cloud."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The primary improvements should be made in the cluster storage controller VMs so that they don't break the upgrade process."
"HyperFlex could be improved by reducing the minimum number of nodes supported from three to two."
"We are moving further out with more cloud solutions, so we need HyperFlex to be more cloud-connected. They should develop more connection to Amazon Web Services and Google cloud because our customers use their services and are moving in that direction."
"Lacks easy integration with other vendors."
"The scalability could use improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
