We performed a comparison between Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] and Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."We are able to execute maintenance on one server while the other is still running."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere is a software-defined storage solution that has reduced administration time for storage. It's pretty straightforward to install and setup it and so far it has been robust and worked as advertised from StarWind."
"The management and monitoring have been very easy since the solution's dashboard is very simple and user-friendly."
"This has helped to improve the reliability of service and operation in all departments, without having to stop in case of emergency situations."
"Integration with virtualization platforms helped us to resolve many issues we were facing while using the physical storage."
"The solution provides great performance for the price it is listed with."
"The ProActive support gives me peace of mind because I am a one man shop, but with the technical support behind me, I feel like more than just one person. We spent two to three hours, depending on what we have to do, always on the phone, and they do not push to end the call."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the connectivity, consistency, and that we now have fewer vulnerabilities on the network."
"It is helpful as a backup solution."
"Overall, the solution is extremely easy, flexible and secure."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The scalability of the product is quite good overall - as long as you plan correctly from the outset."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is its performance."
"It is a complete package. For any kind of on-premises hyper-converged solution, we usually have to separate networks, but Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is a complete solution. It has its own network and storage. The storage part is the most valuable feature."
"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."

"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The main issue we ran into was the documentation. We attempted to set up the product in our test environment by ourselves and ran into several areas of the documentation that were unclear to us."
"I would like them to invest time in reducing the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure."
"Diagnostics information or alerts on the state of systems could also be implemented to give more visibility."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"You have to do a "full" sync on write-back cache disks instead of a quick sync if there is an issue."
"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"We would like to move off the GUI."
"I would like a lighter product; something which can be carried by a mere human. The typical size still looks like a stack of data center-sized servers, which is typically fine, but not so good if you want to carry it around."
"The infrastructure team thinks that there are a lot of issues."
"Lacks some integration and documentation could be improved."
"We'd like the product to offer better integration with other products."
"One aspect that really needs to be looked at, is to fix the bugs issue."
"The scalability could use improvement."
"It would have been nice if the product provided some cloud 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."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
