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."When we need additional storage but want to keep the size of the SANs manageable, the StarWind Virtual SAN has allowed me to do everything needed."
"VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"I save both physical and virtual space."
"The management and monitoring have been very easy since the solution's dashboard is very simple and user-friendly."
"One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"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."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"HPE's InfoSight software, which does the comparative analysis and artificial intelligence built-in in the box, and with Nimble they do well against the competition. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"Nimble is easy to use, but hard to install. Once it's installed, it's user-friendly. Reporting is another advantage because we get a lot of statistical forecasting. It helps us see into the future with that."
"Very good in-line compression."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The technical support services are good."
"The solution works well."
"Simply being able to move objects and the duplication feature have been quite effective."
"The product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."
"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 most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"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 cluster configuration is time-consuming and tedious."
"Diagnostics information or alerts on the state of systems could also be implemented to give more visibility."
"Android app for monitoring and receiving push notifications as alarms or monitoring I/O from any mobile device could be a good feature and nice to have as we are not always on our desk."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"It would help us if the vendor continues to release software updates for earlier versions of the Windows operating systems."
"There should be some kind of active monitoring connected to StarWind vSAN, so you will be able to act when needed."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"Cost-wise, this solution is slightly more expensive than other hyperconverged solutions."
"The product does not support file services."
"They should improve just the support."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI currently is promoting only VMware as a hypervisor, whereas if they can look into other OSs, such as KVM or Red Hat, it would be an improvement."
"Companies in small countries face problems with spare parts."
"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."
"The only issue I'm really running into is we have a SQL server that we're having a lot of high IO latency on one of my drives and it's my data drive from my SQL server. It's not really giving me any good information as to where that latency is coming from, so that's what I'm trying to track down and troubleshoot."
"The solution could improve by providing better file-level restoration and DVX system options."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"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."
"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."
