Pros
"Provides easy access to our data.""Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels.""The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use.

More Huawei FusionStorage Pros →

"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure.""​We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users.​""VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR.""Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive.""​It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications.​""Systems run solidly.""The component integration means I don't have to worry about technology mismatches.""Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."

Cons
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""Their cloud services could be improved.""The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management.""The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be.""The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases.""VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles.""RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise.""With respect to the technical support, there is room for improvement.""Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live.""In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
  • More Huawei FusionStorage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Strive for a consolidated ELA."
  • "Related to tech support: I believe it is too expensive."
  • "I would not say the pricing is not good value. It is still on the expensive side, near the top-end of cost compared to what's available now. Also, the licensing has to be improved. There has to be a clear definition of the licensing from the initial set-up so the customer knows what they are paying for, without being hit later on with extra licensing. The licensing definitions should be clearer and, perhaps, have one set of licenses rather than multiple licenses."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Vblock appears from the first while to be very expensive. There are more items you cannot see in the BOQ: customer service, support, delivery short time, and highly experienced VCE engineers."
  • "I think the pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. There could be some adjustments that could be made there. Regarding licensing, watch compatibility with external products that you run on Vblock. It has got to be properly architected, otherwise, you will run into licensing issues."
  • "The paid support for Vblock is expensive."
  • "Vblock is priced at a premium because people don't want the headache of managing and deploying different products."
