We performed a comparison between Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] and Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"Updates to server hardware are now painless and done during working hours with zero stress. We had a RAID failure a few months back, and nobody in the building even noticed and there was no after hours time used for repair."
"We have experienced multiple hardware failures at one site and the fault-tolerant volume worked exactly as expected with zero downtime."
"Their support goes above and beyond with the integration of their software."
"It eliminates the use of expensive physical shared storage."
"The management interface on the software is very simple. It is insanely simple compared to most SANs. The interface is also powerful when used to complete tasks that an IT administrator needs to complete."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"The support has been amazing and quick to reply."
"The software defines networking, storage, and processing."
"When we use it for VDI solutions, it is very easy to deploy and support."
"It's easy to get the tool started."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability, performance, and reliability. It scales well inside of a large data center."
"Its most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"I find the usability very valuable."
"You can administer things easily. E.g., if you need more power, you can add a system."
"The most valuable feature for our company is that it works internally. We have a lot of internal projects for optimization."
"The product is very reliable. We haven't had any major issues with the product since we bought it."
"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 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."

"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"A great feature would be a wizard and to include a new disk in the SAN. At the moment, including a new disk requires several steps - some that must be done at the OS level and others in each node."
"The configuration can a bit cumbersome."
"Improvements in documentation and support resources could enhance the user experience."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"It would be good to have a little more access to control certain aspects within the UI."
"There is no IPv6 support. That is our only issue at this time."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"Cisco HyperFlex should decrease the amount of memory needed from the Controller VM that controls the physical discs. They control the discs by using the virtual VM over every ESXi host and the VM consumes memory and consumes more hardware resources. They have to improve that by decreasing the amount of required memory and CPUs to control this disc on the server."
"The pricing is pretty expensive."
"This solution is lacking in replication and backup abilities that I would like to see in a future release similar to HPE SimpliVity."
"The initial setup of profiles and templates could be improved. Maybe some end profiles that you can use based on your type of deployment would be good."
"The product needs work in the area of deduplication which currently is inefficient."
"Its price could be better."
"We would like HyperFlex to connect the storage directly into Fabric Interconnect along with the features of the solution. We have enough ports in HyperFlex. We don't want to buy another set of switches to connect to Fabric Interconnect, complicating the solution."
"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"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."
"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."
