We performed a comparison between Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] and Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The top-notch support before, during, and after deployments are better than any other vendor I have come across."
"It eliminates the use of expensive physical shared storage."
"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"The vSAN provides full redundancy for storage while reclaiming some rack space."
"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."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime."
"The available GUI is excellent for monitoring and operating the system in an easy and direct way."
"The most valuable feature is that it is something small that can be more easily deployed than a full data center set of servers."
"The product is stable. No one complains about the stability, which is fabulous."
"Cisco HyperFlex is helping us to put everything in centrally so that we can manage in one place."
"Cisco technical support is very skilled. From what I've had to access, there were quick responses and the necessary escalation."
"Stretch cluster allows us to warranty a service for the customer."
"Our customers have seen ROI in terms of the time they save troubleshooting."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability, performance, and reliability. It scales well inside of a large data center."
"It is helpful as a backup solution."
"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 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 most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"We ran into an issue with alerts."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"Improvements in documentation and support resources could enhance the user experience."
"The documentation can be better for the free tier."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"I'd love to see native export of metrics (via Prometheus or something of that nature) to allow us to get more metrics available on our existing dashboard software."
"We are working with a lot of different technologies and trying to manage them with one tool. The API could be improved for better integration with other systems."
"Sometimes when there are multiple technologies involved in a support case, this is when there is a bit of a lag."
"Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series could improve by having the documents be more readily available and the support could be more flexible."
"We are operating two clusters for site resiliency. I would like to support running redundant/resilient vCenter server instances on each rather than a supported external server."
"The utilization needs to be better. It needs more options."
"Unlike other options, you need to pay a subscription to Cisco yearly instead of paying for the hardware outright, which makes it more expensive in the long run."
"Deployment scripts can be improved since several clans need to be created before the deployment effectively works."
"A stretch function is really needed. Germans think that because of the high availability and the security that two data centers are better but we want edge all in one cluster. This is a needed feature, the cluster feature, and we'd also like to see a possibility for ROBO offices."
"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."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
