We performed a comparison between Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 product’s most valuable feature is IOPS."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability."
"When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one."
"The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD."
"The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced."
"The durability and snapshot capabilities are good."
"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."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"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 reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"Amazon EBS performs well but it could improve."
"The setup could be easier."
"I think performance can be improved."
"The features could be improved."
"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."
"The product data encryption feature needs improvement."
"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."
"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 implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
