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."We went from "no way DB applications would have good performance" to "Wow! We can now actually have a DB running and have some VMs running at the same time.""
"You can build cheap, reliable, replicated virtual machines clusters using simple servers with an all flash disk or SAS\SATA hybrid tiered by performance storage."
"I save both physical and virtual space."
"It also provides a seamless and efficient solution for personal storage requirements, showcasing the versatility and scalability of my Virtual SAN configuration."
"We can lose a site or even two of our three, and we would lose no data and have no outage."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"Starwind made it easy to deploy fully redundant, highly available storage at a low cost."
"One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"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 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 pricing of the solution is excellent. It's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei. It's much, much better than VMware."

"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"It allows us to have a cloud-based ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"It has been stable so far."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"The cluster configuration is time-consuming and tedious."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"Initially, when we first started, the sync was horrible."
"The gathering of monthly consumption and performance reports for future dissemination to concerned parties is very important. Unfortunately, StarWinds vSAN doesn't offer this functionality."
"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 help if the manufacturer provided clearer and more detailed documentation, with explanations of how the application can be installed in various HA configurations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
More Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Cons →
"Deployment could be more user-friendly - currently, it requires certain skills with the network and nodes."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"In terms of what I would like to see improved, I would say the life cycle management. I don't know if it is because they changed to an LCM from the previous way of upgrading the hardware or software but sometimes it feels that it needs a wizard that says, "Check this, check this," telling you your options. The only thing that's a bit frustrating for me is the life cycle management interface. That's the only thing on the entire system that frustrates me."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
"The price could be lower."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"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."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
