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 virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"When using new (warranty) servers, you can forget about the storage service for several years. The users will not even notice the failure of two servers out of three."
"The user interface for this application is amazing."
"The most valuable feature for us is having the ability to configure our local storage using a limited number of disks and using the StarWind VSAN software to keep the cluster nodes in perfect sync."
"Without the need for any downtime, enterprises can simply grow their storage infrastructure using StarWind Virtual SAN by adding new servers or disks to the current infrastructure."
"The most important feature is the ability to experience the loss of one node or one storage device, and not lose the entire cluster."
"The software is easy to setup and manage, and the support is excellent."
"The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard."
"If you were comparing this solution to VMware, it has more features, and it's very fast on the recovery."
"The HPE Hyper Converged solution is used in a hybrid cloud configuration. We assess the disk space and partition additional capacity."
"One of the solution's strong points is the deduplication capabilities of SimpliVity."
"What I really like about this program, is that it needs little space and it works really fast, so it saves us time."
"The HA, which means I have a copy of the VMs always available, and the moment a VM is down, the system tries to power it on again."
"Hyper Converge is easier to manage and performs better than traditional infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of this solution are fast deployment, security, and it is easy to upgrade."
"The product enables me to use any software or database."
"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 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."
"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."

"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"Improvements in documentation and support resources could enhance the user experience."
"I want to suggest that the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure needs to be reduced."
"StarWind currently has a Windows native application that it uses for management. There is not a web-based GUI at this time."
"Updates seem to be non-existent."
"The system performs as expected, but we're always looking for performance improvements regarding the best utilization of NVMe disks."
"The management console of StarWind Virtual SAN is pretty complex."
"The solution can be improved on the management side. More management features should be added to future releases."
"The improvements could be customization and backup efficiency."
"A software-only version of the solution, without the hardware, would be nice."
"This solution is very costly."
"Its technical support services could be faster."
"The product must provide more storage capability."
"I would like to see more deduplication."
"I would like to see improvement in the hardware underneath it. Currently, it's a Gen9 DL380. One day, there will be a Gen10 DL380 and maybe they will have bigger or smaller sizes."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
"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."
