We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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 product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it. | We can also create test cases. We can even throttle down performance or release more performance. So, we can run more precise test scenarios. When we do to do more scaled load testing, we can run more dense workloads and still have the same results across all specific nodes It is more stable now than it was before. It's not like it was in the first year. Now it is stable, and we trust it more. VMware vSAN has greatly reduced refresh spending. The newer versions of this solution are much more stable and easier to manage. As a function of our core business, it's a sought after tool that helps us provide analytical support across a wide spectrum of client needs. It's allowed us to test out in our connected restaurant - "TheWorks" - a fully-functional restaurant experience center that allows our clients to discover the value of our connected solutions firsthand. We deploy vSAN in this customer-like environment within a hyperconvergent infrastruction (HCI) to give our clients a better understanding and help optimize data and the end-users' experience. The most valuable feature is the ability to continue our business needs and have higher visibility. It has definitely increased our business productivity levels. To me, VMware is a leader of the visualizations. I think everyone just follow VMware. |
Cons | |
Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers. 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. | When we talk about improvements for vSAN, there is some way to go from a at least stability perspective. Adding all these new features is nice, but we are now at the level that most of the features you need in production are there. Upgradability could be a bit easier sometimes. We are now where vSAN can be updated without ESXi, but there is still enough dependency. So that would be good if that actually would uncoupled even more. Disaster recovery needs to be improved, when there is a crisis, there is a problem with what is the quickest way to get out of it. This solution is not great for large file shares/object/rich media repository. This solution would benefit from better collaboration with Cisco for driver updates. I would like to see the availability of more template based VMware systems. Combined with the ability to check and measure multiple and converging data segments. Another issue I've seen is that the tool seems to be slow when first starting up. I would love for this product to be cheaper and easier to configure. It is an expensive solution. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | ROI from an administrative perspective is clearly much better because I only have to deal with one user interface. I'd love for this product to be cheaper. The only problem I have with VMware is the price. It is a good product, but it is expensive. With vSAN, we didn't find the market that competitive. The vSAN is somewhat expensive to license. The vSAN licensing is not an inexpensive product. It does cost more than hypervisor. We did consider other hyperconverged solutions. It usually came down to price. vSan was the most cost effective thing. What made us go with this solution was price point. When you can utilize existing storage infrastructure, and not have to continually purchase new SAN products out there that are going up in price as time goes by, then it's a wonderful thing. |
