We primarily use the solution as a virtual platform. It serves as a server storage solution for creating a virtual platform.

Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling. However, it is expensive. It provides high performance, which is attributed to data locality. It also supports scale-up storage and RAM, allowing for flexible expansion within the box. Other vendors like VxRail and Azure Stack do not offer this capability. It has comprehensive management and reporting functionalities integrated into the product. Managing virtual machines on Nutanix is much easier than VMware or Hyper-V clusters.

The solution is fairly expensive, especially in comparison to three-tier solutions. There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product. While purchasing, you must decide on the performance and capacity you want to build into the system. Once you've built it, it's difficult to change, whether increasing performance or adjusting to changed circumstances.

I have been using Nutanix Prism for 7 years.

The solution works with all types of customers, from small to enterprise.

I rate the solution’s scalability a nine out of ten.

I have used VxRail and SimpliVity. We switched to Nutanix for better performance, easier management, and better support.

The initial setup is easy and takes days to a week, depending on what you make.

The maintenance is very easy.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for physical assets management, IT management, and application dependency mapping.

There was a lack of information about what was installed in the data center and how they interconnect with each other. We had the information in Excel before. We installed Device42 to get the information from our environment into the Device42 database.

The solution supports our compliance and audit processes. We take a lot of advantage of it. We use the reporting to audit institutions. We can send the queries and get the reports directly from the tool. I rate the process an eight out of ten. I would have rated it ten if the product had AI features.

The solution is agentless. Application dependency mapping is a valuable feature. These are the two reasons why I believe the product is very beneficial. Before, we had servers. Every time we made some changes to the service, there was a gap between what was expected from the server and what the server was doing.

Network visualization is a basic function. The information is gathered using SNMP. It's not different from others that I've known before. A main aspect of network discovery is that we use it to manage the IP addresses. We use that feature because it is part of the core module.

The product must provide AI features. It would be very useful if I could create datasets or queries from an AI interface.

I have been using the solution for six years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

The tool’s scalability is very nice. We must speak to the vendor, and they will send a new key code. We can install it and start working. It's easy to scale the product.

The technical support team is very responsive. Everything has an answer. If something can’t be done, it is because the product doesn’t do it.

Positive

We were using another tool. We wanted to integrate an asset management solution with it, but we couldn’t do it because we had to manually set the relationship between all the assets. It was time-consuming. So, we switched to Device42.

The initial setup is very easy. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. It would be very easy to set up if we knew how things work.

I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
