Pros
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use.

"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product.""The solution is pretty stable.""What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug.""We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment.""Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors.""I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product.""Data redundancy is a key feature, since it can survive failures (disks/servers). We didn’t lose our data or have a service interruption during server/disk failures.""The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us."

Cons
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""It took me a long time to get the storage drivers for the communication with Kubernetes up and running. The documentation could improve it is lacking information. I'm not sure if this is a Ceph problem or if Ceph should address this, but it was something I ran into. Additionally, there is a performance issue I am having that I am looking into, but overall I am satisfied with the performance.""Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow.""It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure.""We have encountered slight integration issues.""Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures.""It needs a better UI for easier installation and management.""The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
