We performed a comparison between Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 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."The most valuable feature for us is having the ability to configure our local storage using a limited number of disks and using the StarWind VSAN software to keep the cluster nodes in perfect sync."
"The StarWind VSAN is always up and allows us to move VMS to other nodes for maintenance, without interruption to service."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"This solution has a very good user interface, with simple administration/management."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."
"It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"This has helped to improve the reliability of service and operation in all departments, without having to stop in case of emergency situations."
"The available GUI is excellent for monitoring and operating the system in an easy and direct way."
"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 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 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 very stable. We haven't had any issues."
"It is 100% stable. It's the most stable infrastructure that we have."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"Ability to create multiple VMs."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"With data verification, I would like to know how does the solution perform validation of data being synced between two VSANs."
"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"If there was one feature I would like to see it would be a built-in subsystem for managing UPS backups shutdown procedures providing a way to initiate VM shutdown on all host servers, shut down the host servers, then put the fault-tolerant mirroring in standby, and finally shut down the StarWind SANs."
"To enable the proactive support capability that is part of our support agreement, I would ask that the terms and conditions be revised and made acceptable to corporate security."
"The cluster configuration is time-consuming and tedious."
"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."
"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."

"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"I would enjoy an advanced mode where experienced users can leverage their knowledge to do advanced things currently only allowed using the command line tools on the CVM."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"AHV is a great hypervisor but still limited compared to VMware. AHV is the one product they must improve."
