We performed a comparison between Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and Sangfor HCI - 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 ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to leverage our server infrastructure more completely without the need to add more hardware."
"The ability to run the software virtually on every virtualization platform and the ability to eliminate all storage vendor locking are the most valuable features."
"We test live failovers every week, and so far, everything has been running smoothly without anything unexpected."
"The product gave us a cost-effective way to deploy a highly available server environment."
"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."
"High Availability is the best feature of product."
"This has helped to improve the reliability of service and operation in all departments, without having to stop in case of emergency situations."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"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 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 product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."

"We find the topology feature of Sangfor HCI particularly valuable."
"It is flexible like a hyper-convergence system. You can add nodes, and you can scale to have better performance and stability. I also like the backup feature, the recovery system, and the web interface GUI to handle everything."
"The most valuable feature of Sangfor HCI is the built-in recovery functionality. The migration is simple to do from other solutions, such as VMware."
"The solution provides a single management console."
"Sangfor has many solutions, and you can easily manage their machine servers with just one management. They're always striving for greatness, and they continuously update their products. For example, they have now built endpoint security within the firewall. They are continuously improving not only the security but also all other products."
"Their GUI interface is a bit easier than VMware's."
"Sangfor HCI has a bundle of security features that are easy to monitor on the HCI dashboard."
"Very user-friendly and simple."
"It is difficult to control all of the hardware components."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"The reconnection of the attached drives upon a reboot could be improved."
"Performance when in storage-separate configuration needs to be improved."
"Though I have learned some of the nuances with the upgrading of firmware/windows/etc., it would be nice to have a more efficient method of doing so."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
More Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Cons →
"Sangfor does not support a SAS configuration, which is something that we would like."
"The interface could be a little bit better."
"Sangfor could improve its built-in CAP system. Right now, we need to use an external tool for CAP."
"I would want the product to include Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which can help to easily retrieve the data."
"The solution could improve by including backup capabilities."
"The documentation and support from the community are not as good or as mature as VMware or Hyper-V."
"Its virtual machine tools can be improved. These tools should be enhanced for use in other applications and operating systems, such as Linux."
"The error reporting needs to be improved."
