We performed a comparison between NetApp FAS Series and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"End-users like that they can rely on the Snapshot technology so they can do their restores themselves."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"It has a user-friendly dashboard and interface."
"Ease of deployment"
"A lot of features are there, but for us, on the server administration side, creating a clone of the VM is valuable because many times, we have to deploy security patches. For deploying these patches, it helps to have a clone so that if something goes wrong, we can discard that VM and put back the clone VM. That is a very cool feature."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable feature is the flexibility to move the VMs easily, keeping everything together."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"It has been stable so far."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The user interface could be improved."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
