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."The top-notch support before, during, and after deployments are better than any other vendor I have come across."
"The StarWind Virtual SAN management console is intuitive and easy to use."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"The price was right."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"If you were comparing this solution to VMware, it has more features, and it's very fast on the recovery."
"The solution's most valuable features are scalability, easy migration, easy recovery, and flexible backup possibilities."
"The most valuable features are resiliency and data protection."
"The most valuable features of this solution are fast deployment, security, and it is easy to upgrade."
"No concerns or issues with stability."
"The HA, which means I have a copy of the VMs always available, and the moment a VM is down, the system tries to power it on again."
"The most valuable feature is the in-built backup system. The backup speed is also excellent."
"The HPE Hyper Converged solution is used in a hybrid cloud configuration. We assess the disk space and partition additional capacity."
"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 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 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."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"It took a bit of knowledge and support to put in place but once installed it works fine. Migration (HyperV) from one server to another sometimes takes longer than expected but there is no data loss even if the host crashes."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"I want to suggest that the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure needs to be reduced."
"I wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"This product would benefit from having automated alerting functionality."
"It would be great to have more automated tooling around managing the iSCSI connections in Windows"
"I think that OneView should be replaced by something else for the management."
"We have faced some challenges when upgrading. With Hyper Converged, you have to fully upgrade because there are no incremental upgrades available in this solution. For example, let's say we have two nodes. If we want to upgrade storage, we also need to upgrade computing. That means a full upgrade EME."
"In the Hyper Converged environment, some of the brands only support the OS VMware and not Hyper-V from Microsoft or even Red Hat or KVM."
"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."
"We've had to do a power cycle to bring it all the way down, bring it back up for power outages, A/C shut-downs of our DC office, but it hasn't presented a problem."
"Providing local technical support and improving the price are areas this service needs to consider improving."
"The product must provide more storage capability."
"The solution can be improved on the management side. More management features should be added to future releases."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"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."
