We performed a comparison between HPE Alletra dHCI 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."It's quite easy to manage."
"This solution made it possible to deploy a new infrastructure in the shortest amount of time, at a low cost without purchasing expensive hardware storage, and use unused servers."
"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."
"The failover protection and the ability to expand storage and nodes with no downtime are by far the best physical features we have benefited from."
"Before VSAN, hypervisor configuration changes and updates resulted in VM outages. Now, downtime is dramatically reduced."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"Quick setup, great support, stability is great"
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's user interface is very easy to work with."
"With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me."
"The latency is very low."
"The technical support services are good."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
"So far, the solution's performance is very good."
"Artificial intelligence is built into the product. If there's a failure, HP support will proactively call the client about the issue."
"The solution is useful for taking storage snapshots, has high performance, and the CASL architecture is good for optimizing workloads."
"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 wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"It would be nice if we could designate pools, or tiers, for storage of different speeds, and then assign rules to new VMs that would automatically place them into the proper pool."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"They require more media visibility."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"vSAN's free version does not have a graphical user interface."
"I struggled when bit figuring out how to go about doing the evaluation."
"Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick."
"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."
"Nimble Storage's integration with the management software could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing better file-level restoration and DVX system options."
"Lacking integration to the cloud."
"The product's active controller feature needs improvement."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
