We performed a comparison between Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and VxRail 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 ability to keep data accessible even in the event of hardware failures is highly valued, as it ensures business continuity."
"It is extremely stable."
"The StarWind VSAN is always up and allows us to move VMS to other nodes for maintenance, without interruption to service."
"I save both physical and virtual space."
"The ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"Integration with virtualization platforms helped us to resolve many issues we were facing while using the physical storage."
"I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"The product has improved the ability to mimic physical SAN environments to demo scenarios and troubleshoot problems."
"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 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 pricing of the solution is excellent. It's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei. It's much, much better than VMware."

"One beneficial feature is that the solution can handle complex environments."
"For me, VxRail's most valuable feature is its life-cycle management."
"The support has been excellent, especially if you compare it to IBM."
"We were able to speed up our gaming software, which was a big plus."
"We are very happy with the purchase, and it works well. It is fast. We went with the full-flash version, meaning that we have SSDs. So, we can build a Windows virtual machine in two minutes. We were surprised when we first tried to do that."
"It's a good product based on the features. You can upgrade the solution with only one click."
"The solution is perfect for the lifecycle management of hardware."
"The most compelling aspect of VxRail lies in its unwavering guarantee of sustained performance for my systems, regardless of their geographical distribution."
"Ability to to test the virtual storage are network area and storage speed from StarWind Management Console."
"It would be helpful to have a little more insight into what kind of performance the VSAN cluster is utilizing; something that would be more proactive on our side, versus their ProActive Support."
"The system performs as expected, but we're always looking for performance improvements regarding the best utilization of NVMe disks."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"I'm sure it needs bug fixes..."
"Other vendors such as VMware vSAN have a bigger community of users, so it is easier to find more pre-sale or post-sale information from users."
"Being able to run StarWind vSAN on top of any free UNIX operating system to build a resilient iSCSI/FTP/SMB storage system would be useful."
"We would like to see the documentation more fully developed."
"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."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."

"All updates are supposed to be done through VxRail, however, the vCenter actually showed that there was an update it needed. I've just started using the product. I didn't know what I was doing. I actually updated my vCenter and that actually threw the VxRail system offline. We had to spend some time trying to get that working again. If possible, they should make the process a bit more clear so we don't make mistakes like this in the future. There should maybe be some sort of pop-up that can direct you."
"They should add automation and activation going forward."
"The licensing needs to be improved upon."
"Its price could be better."
"My customers want more storage for university databases."
"The version upgrade process should be simplified."
"When using hybrid nodes, such as VxRail, there should not be compression and deduplication, only in All-Flash nodes."
"The initial setup was not that easy, it was a medium difficulty level."
