User-friendly GUI, capable technical support team but complicated license mechanism
Sangfor HCI's license mechanism is too complicated. The license agreement is a distributed license. Within the HCI platform, Sangfor HCI has multiple licenses in terms of services. Sangfor HCI has a separate license for the security services, a separate license for the Doctor services, and application services. They have multiple SKUs in separate forms. As per local market requirements, I think they need to couple up these or bundle up the license model.

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten... Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We find the topology feature of Sangfor HCI particularly valuable."
"The product provides a single management console for managing everything."
"Unlike VMware, Sangfor offers a straightforward solution with rich features and an easy-to-use interface. Its ease of management and strong integration capabilities make it a compelling choice."
"I am impressed with the product's firewall and virtualization."
"The manageability feature is the most important aspect of the solution."
"The price of Sangfor is cheaper than other competing products."
"It's a great solution for companies in Pakistan."
 

Cons

"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"Sangfor HCI has room for improvement in terms of integration. So, the integration with Sangfor HCI is not as extensive as in Nutanix."
"We have had issues while integrating VMware with Sangfor HCI. The tool should be also faster in terms of customization."
"The initialization is not fully automated and has room for improvement."
"Support may be an issue for customers in some industries. For example, financial institutions may require 24/7 support."
"The solution could improve by including backup capabilities."
"Currently, when we need to do capacity planning, we have to rely on Sangfor's support team for assistance. However, if there were dedicated tools available, we could handle it ourselves and increase efficiency."
"One question that has come up frequently in the last week is whether or not the renewal cost for Sangfor's HCI solution is too high."
"Sangfor does not support a SAS configuration, which is something that we would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very cheap."
"Considering the capabilities provided, the product is expensive."
"The pricing of Sangfor is very competitive."
"The solution is affordable."
"The solution is on-premise which does not have a subscription. However, there is a need to purchase support. The solution is on a perpetual license model. There is not any extra cost other than the standard licensing fees."
"It is in the middle range as compared to other hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. There is a three-year warranty on the hardware. The license also includes other features. Sangfor has included Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and a built-in firewall with the license. Other top brands, such as VxRail and VMware, require a separate license for such features."
"I would say its pricing is between cheap and reasonable and would rate it as three out of five."
"Its price should be better, but I don't think they will change the price list. You have to pay for licenses, and you have to pay for support, so you have an annual fee. You can use the product without the fee, but it's really dumb because you need support. We are an IT company. We provide the product, and we need the support too for our customers."
