We performed a comparison between HPE Alletra dHCI 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."It's very easy to resize disks and they show up in VMware almost instantly."
"The ability for us to manage all of our nodes from the same console makes systems administration very easy."
"The fact that we can expand our storage and add on to our compute nodes easily and how amazing the StarWind technical support team is really adding value to our purchase."
"StarWind Virtual SAN can improve an organization's storage infrastructure by providing high availability, scalability, cost-effectiveness, performance, and ease of use."
"Besides being 80% cheaper than the other alternatives, the simplicity makes reconfiguration and support much easier."
"The price was right."
"The product has improved the ability to mimic physical SAN environments to demo scenarios and troubleshoot problems."
"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."
"HPE's InfoSight software, which does the comparative analysis and artificial intelligence built-in in the box, and with Nimble they do well against the competition. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Simply being able to move objects and the duplication feature have been quite effective."
"The product has cut down a lot of service tickets. Earlier, people complained about slowness."
"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI has the most valuable features for performance, resilience, and scalability."
"Nimble DHCI is really user friendly and not complex"
"We have this feature in Nimble dHCI, wherein we can upgrade individual components in the infrastructure."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings."
"It would be nice if we could designate pools, or tiers, for storage of different speeds, and then assign rules to new VMs that would automatically place them into the proper pool."
"The software monitoring should be web-based to be reachable from any VLAN workstation."
"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."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"The GUI deserves a little love."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick."
"The product is expensive."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's website does not open properly or work consistently."
"Companies in small countries face problems with spare parts."
"The product’s performance needs improvement. It could also help with more environment monitoring and AI technologies to improve the performance and thresholds."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI currently is promoting only VMware as a hypervisor, whereas if they can look into other OSs, such as KVM or Red Hat, it would be an improvement."
"I'm not sure if there are features lacking."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
"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."
"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."
"The solution currently does not have cloud integration."
