We performed a comparison between Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 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 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."
"Starwind support is excellent. They are very fast and have very good knowledge of Starwind and Hyper-V Cluster software."
"The price was right."
"This product now allows us to migrate virtual machines between nodes as if we had a dedicated $100,000 SAN in the mix without the additional cost and management of the SAN."
"I've been really impressed with it so far. I think it's pretty great, actually. It does exactly what we need it to do, and it does it well, so I would recommend it. Plus, the support has been very good."
"The ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"StarWind vSAN has a lot of great features and is a perfect solution for mirroring internal disks and flash between servers."
"Virtual SAN runs on iSCSI, which is free and easy to configure. It's easy to manage from StarWind's GUI console, and it only required a few extra switch ports."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."

"Being able to upgrade our entire cluster with the click of a button during business hours with zero downtime has made managing our infrastructure so easy."
"The flexibility of this system is very good. It's also faster than others, and has skilled technical support who showed more initiative than a competitor, e.g. VMware."
"You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware."
"You can be sure that whatever you patch is already compatible with the current firmware and the current version of the Acropolis that you're using."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The maintenance software is straightforward because you do not need to do any configuration."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"The most valuable features are the user-friendly dashboard and that we don't need to move resources manually when adding new nodes into running clusters."
"I am expecting to see it more user-friendly in the future."
"It would be good to have a little more access to control certain aspects within the UI."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"There should be some kind of active monitoring connected to StarWind vSAN, so you will be able to act when needed."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"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."
"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."
More Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Cons →
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"The documentation could be improved."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"The productivity and work efficiency of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve."
"I'd like it to be more API-based."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"In the next release of this solution, they could improve by being more competitive with VMware. I would like all third-party solutions to work well with Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
