We performed a comparison between HPE Hyper Converged and Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure 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."Using our own choice of HW allowed us to price our service to answer our customers' needs."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"The StarWind products have enabled our organization to modernize stations where larger and more expensive equipment was not an option."
"The product only requires two VMWare ESXi host servers versus three host servers for VMware's comparable solution."
"We test live failovers every week, and so far, everything has been running smoothly without anything unexpected."
"You can turn your local disk storage into high-availability iSCSI storage."
"The most important feature is the ability to experience the loss of one node or one storage device, and not lose the entire cluster."
"The most valuable features of this solution are fast deployment, security, and it is easy to upgrade."
"It is a stable solution...Those who want flexibility, ease of use, and a simple support system can opt for HPE."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If you were comparing this solution to VMware, it has more features, and it's very fast on the recovery."
"It provides unmatched performance, productivity and reliability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable aspect of the solution. We can avoid downtime when there's maintenance or updates needed. Also, we have homogenous hardware, so we have a lot of trust in the solution's reliability."
"The product enables me to use any software or database."
"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."
"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."

"I'd love to see more clarification for us folks who are smart enough to do some damage yet not smart enough to use CLI."
"A better overall view of the different deployments could be beneficial, although this is difficult due to how flexible the solution is."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"The most disappointing side of the application is the free edition. There used to be GUI attached. That has recently changed to only CLI management of the application."
"This product could be improved with the inclusion of new health check procedures."
"In my country, the biggest issue is probably pricing."
"The solution's pricing for the hardware and support could be reduced."
"I would like to see improvement in the hardware underneath it. Currently, it's a Gen9 DL380. One day, there will be a Gen10 DL380 and maybe they will have bigger or smaller sizes."
"Could be more secure and more economical."
"The solution can be improved on the management side. More management features should be added to future releases."
"The storage efficiency is weak and needs to be improved."
"Some improvement is required in the availability of the data and performance. The solution is too expensive for our customers. The pricing should be lower."
"If the solution could further compress the data, it would use less storage."
"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."
"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."
"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."
