Sr. Cloud Architect at Intuitive Technology Partners
Combines network, storage, and compute functions in one place
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. I've noticed a slight impact on performance, especially with high-end computing virtual machines for SAP HANA. While I don't have concrete data to support this observation, customers have raised concerns about discrepancies in performance.

Experience improved integration and cost-efficiency while facing support challenges
The best features of VxRail are its compatibility with VMware, its hyper-converged solution capabilities, and its single line of support. These are the most beneficial aspects of VxRail. I switched from the previous HP solution to Dell solution because it was a good decision. With HP servers, we dealt with a vendor for the compute servers, another vendor for the storage servers, and another vendor for the networking, which required us to manage multiple vendors. Now, we have a single team who can handle VxRail and a single line of support. We don't need anything other than that, and these are the differences we noticed after we switched.

Pros

"The price of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is very good."
"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 product is very reliable, with a lot of redundancy and highly available pulses, and we haven't had any major issues with it since we bought it."
"The pricing of the solution is excellent; it's one of the main reasons a customer chooses Huawei, and 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 solution is stable and everything is taken care of through the Huawei support center, as they ensure everything is running smoothly."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is the relocating of resources."
"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."
"It is very powerful. We find that to be the most valuable aspect. The movement of devices between nodes is very easy."
"We have seen ROI using this solution. It has simplified the work of the staff that we have which allows us to do more work with the same number of people, without having to incrementally grow the staff."
"The tool's price is competitive and it is easy to use."
"We have seen a return on the investment due to how easy this solution is to use and the time it frees up for our staff."
"The support is very good from the dataset."
"Offers zero-day deployment"
"The support for this solution is really good; I always use the chat medium because it is easy to open a ticket and get assistance."
"We are not just purchased the server, we transformed our infrastructure into Powerful and Efficient, agile, flexible and scalable, polished and proven technology solution build with VMWare."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement. There's a lot of language barriers."
"The product is not scalable. It's a fixed item, so it has limitations."
"It would be helpful if the solution was able to collaborate or integrate with other well-known monitoring tools."
"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."
"The stability is poor as compared to VMware."
"Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure could improve the security of the solution. 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."
"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 full solution is not completely included as a bundle, such as we see with SimpliVity."
"The price point needs improvement, certainly for smaller SMBs; the cost of it is still quite painful."
"It still has compatibility issues with the latest version of VMware vSphere 6.5. In fact, we spend around six months waiting for a confirmation and firmware upgrade to confirm this step."
"The fact that is based on vSAN is the main issue of this solution."
"The first layer of technical support is not well equipped to help you identify the root cause of issues."
"I can't speak to any missing features or weak aspects of the system just yet. We haven't had a chance to really dig in."
"I would like better integration with VCF from VMware, which is the Cloud Foundation tool set, so we can easily provision servers very quickly."
"Having a native replication would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure is very good. There is a perpetual license for the solution, there are not any additional costs for the hardware. We have a license in case there is any new functionality that is required."
"I rate Huawei FusionCube Hyper-Converged Infrastructure's pricing a six out of ten."
"We made a one-time purchase of the solution and the price is expensive."
"There is a permanent vSAN license included since it is required, but vCenter\ESXi host licensing should be validated in the purchase process."
"VxRail does raise the price, but overall, it's well-priced. It's not more expensive than other similar solutions. If you were to create an in-house, tailor-made solution, you could potentially do it at a lower cost. However, I think a fully integrated solution like VxRail should be priced appropriately."
"The cost was cheaper compared to other virtualization solutions."
"It has a yearly subscription. It can be for one year, three years, or five years."
"There is an administrative cost savings. Instead of having seven to 15 separate boxes that someone has to administer on 15 different terminals, you can do the majority of it from one interface. Therefore, it saves on manpower costs."
"VxRail is not cheap, but it's not expensive either."
"Fees vary by license type."
