Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced."
"When I have to change the operating system or delete a host, I can store the data in EBS or assign it to another host."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is backup...Amazon EBS is a very good product since it is very easy to enhance or increase and migrate your servers immediately, in a matter of seconds."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy to manage."
"The product’s most valuable feature is IOPS."
"The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment."
"The setup could be easier."
"I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Amazon EBS performs well but it could improve."
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."
"It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The solution is very expensive."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
