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 is extremely stable."
"We have experienced multiple hardware failures at one site and the fault-tolerant volume worked exactly as expected with zero downtime."
"StarWind vSAN is a great solution to create a redundant two-node-only Hyper-V cluster, both for domain or workgroup scenarios."
"This solution has a very good user interface, with simple administration/management."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."
"Their support staff is comprised of true experts who can also communicate clearly."
"The virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"I find the usability very valuable."
"Cisco offers very good quality."
"The management from the switches to the hyper-convergence solutions are quite good and well-developed."
"Its most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The most valuable features are scalability and the easy operation - if it works. You can configure everything from just one window."
"Cisco HyperFlex HX has improved the way our organization functions on the storage side by having one big storage space for hosting VMs. We do not have to provision other ones. That's a positive aspect of it."
"There are some slight cost advantages when you need fewer resources to manage it."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."

"They need to improve the speed of the interfaces, thus allowing for better traffic on the network."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"The Command Center, a free guest VM for management and monitoring, leaves something to be desired. It could have more accurate real-time information and better reporting visuals, which seem to be an afterthought."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"The console is something that I believe could be enhanced."
"The console is something that I feel could be improved. There is nothing technically wrong with it, but it can be jazzed up and/or made to be a little more intuitive."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"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."
"Does not support the stretch cluster, and the interface is not good."
"I would have liked it to be able to back up the system to a cloud, to be able to work from any other place"
"Cisco has to continue improve the management tools to provide a better command line interface with more functions. That would be better for administration."
"When it comes to customer needs, the licensing price could be better."
"The initial setup could be faster, due to the prerequisites."
"In the next release, I would like to see them able to connect to the public cloud."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"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."
"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."
