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."The Windows-based StarWind GUI is easy to use and understand and integrates seamlessly with VMware's vSphere portal as well."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"StarWind Virtual SAN (vSAN) offers a significant breadth of features."
"StarWind allows us to move virtual machines from one physical host to another, which greatly reduces the downtime required for maintenance."
"It provided the much-needed HA on an extremely low budget."
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"The install itself is easy as pie."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me."
"The nice thing about it is that it truly integrates with the cloud, so I can move my volumes bi-directionally in and out of the cloud."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"We have this feature in Nimble dHCI, wherein we can upgrade individual components in the infrastructure."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The latency is very low."
"Very good in-line compression."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
"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 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 most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"The product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."

"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"New versions of this solution should be tested more thoroughly before the release as we had a few problems with one version due to a bug."
"A great feature would be a wizard and to include a new disk in the SAN. At the moment, including a new disk requires several steps - some that must be done at the OS level and others in each node."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"It is difficult to control all of the hardware components."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"I'm sure it needs bug fixes..."
"Lacking integration to the cloud."
"It can be made cheaper."
"The product is expensive."
"Software upgrade is still more complicated than the competitors, so that's an area of improvement."
"The product does not support file services."
"I rate Nimble one out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up Nimble Storage was a nightmare. It took us three months to deal with all the kinks and bugs. We had two people from HPE assisting us and two from our team."
"Cost-wise, this solution is slightly more expensive than other hyperconverged solutions."
"The product’s performance needs improvement. It could also help with more environment monitoring and AI technologies to improve the performance and thresholds."
"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."
"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."
"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."
