Reviews from Real Users
Gabriele P., Senior Software and Systems Engineer at SAMU.IT, says "It is flexible like a hyper-convergence system. You can add nodes, and you can scale to have better performance and stability. I also like the backup feature, the recovery system, and the web interface GUI to handle everything."
A Junior Solutions Engineer at a tech services company adds that "Sangfor has many solutions, and you can easily manage their machine servers with just one management. They're always striving for greatness, and they continuously update their products. For example, they have now built endpoint security within the firewall. They are continuously improving not only the security but also all other products."

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Project Head, Director of Sales and Operations at Core ISP Router | 3.5 | I primarily utilized Sangfor HCI for virtualization, appreciating its user-friendly GUI. However, its complex licensing hampers usability. Despite this, its ROI is high when used as a public cloud, outperforming VMware in cost efficiency. |
| CIO at Indus Motor Company | 4.5 | I transitioned from using conventional servers with Hyper-V to Sangfor HCI for running non-SAP workloads and building a private cloud due to its native VM backup and ease of use. Though it's cost-effective, I desire public cloud integration for disaster recovery. |
| Head of IT Governance, Cybersecurity & Network Infrastructure at Indus Motor Company | 4.5 | I find Sangfor HCI to be a user-friendly hyper-converged infrastructure offering robust data recovery, strong integration, and simplified management compared to VMware, making it manageable by less technical staff. It simplifies VM recovery with a convenient recycle bin feature. |
| CIO at Alameda Healthcare | 4.5 | Sangfor HCI offers native cloud and out-of-the-box, fully integrated plug-and-play solutions, supported by active research and development. However, they need to expand their service network, as their strong presence in the Gulf lacks local partners in Egypt. |
| Branch Lead at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 4.0 | Sangfor HCI is a cost-effective and feature-rich solution compared to VMware, prominent in the Pakistani market. Its manageability is a key selling point, though renewal costs concern some customers. Overall, it offers substantial value without VMware's complex licensing. |
| Senior Executive IT Infrastructure at Wateen Telecom (pvt.) | 2.5 | We used Sangfor HCI to run internal processes and scale hardware, but its hypervisor is not mature and lacks performance. While it offers a helpful management console, there are lags when migrating VMs, making CloudSphere a preferable option. |
| Team Lead of Senior Directors at Net-International | 4.0 | I found Sangfor HCI to be cost-effective with a robust set of features, including built-in backup and an internet management firewall. However, I faced challenges integrating with VMware and felt customization could be faster. |
| Director - Sales & Operations at Techtrix System | 5.0 | I found Sangfor HCI offers quality and support services with a simple license regime, built-in backup, and security integration. Though initially facing sizing issues and adoption challenges in tier-one sectors, it delivers strong ROI through cost-saving consolidation. |
