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 available GUI is excellent for monitoring and operating the system in an easy and direct way."
"The product's core feature of virtualizing our storage is by far the most valuable."
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"The StarWind VSAN is always up and allows us to move VMS to other nodes for maintenance, without interruption to service."
"The instant failover, with vSAN copying data to the second node, allowed for the continuous availability of our applications."
"Recovery and maintenance are now less stressful and most importantly, it allows our users to keep working."
"PowerShell library is pretty good feature as I created with APC PowerChute a script to put volumes on maintenance mode then turning off the StarWind nodes together with the VM and Hosts when UPS reaches 15 percent, this way after a blackout or electrical problems when turning servers on again, there is no issues for syncing or data loss due to energy interrupts."
"The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard."
"It is a stable solution...Those who want flexibility, ease of use, and a simple support system can opt for HPE."
"No concerns or issues with stability."
"The product enables me to use any software or database."
"The most valuable features are resiliency and data protection."
"Hyper Converge is easier to manage and performs better than traditional infrastructure."
"One of the solution's strong points is the deduplication capabilities of SimpliVity."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has good backup resolution updates."
"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 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."
"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."

"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"They require more media visibility."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"It is hard to find adequate technical documentation on their support website."
"The documentation can be better for the free tier."
"I wish the sync after a failure, such as hardware failure or power-related issues, for example, was faster."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"In my country, the biggest issue is probably pricing."
"Could be more secure and more economical."
"I would like to see a more intuitive, user-friendly UI."
"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."
"The solution's pricing for the hardware and support could be reduced."
"A software-only version of the solution, without the hardware, would be nice."
"The storage efficiency is weak and needs to be improved."
"One of the things that can be improved is that today, is supporting VMware, maybe as a hypervisor. But it would be good to have an open kind of platform for other hypervisors, maybe. Like Nutanix is doing, it's very open."
"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."
"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."
