We performed a comparison between Amazon S3 and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon S3 is reliable."
"We find the archival capabilities of this solution quite valuable, because we can have set policies of exactly when, and what to archive."
"An important feature of the Amazon S3's system is that it offers encryption while the files are at rest. This is crucial in ensuring the security of the files being restored and addressing potential security risks. That's what I would emphasize."
"The solution easily connects with the cloud, hardware, or other services to move data."
"The product helps to define storage type based on the requirement."
"Amazon S3 is a storage bucket service with good stability."
"This solution is good at storing historical data and we were using it for other purposes."
"We can store incremental data and get high availability and fault tolerance."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"The inclusion of it in the Nutanix Objects Storage platform simplifies my process as I am no longer required to acquire a separate platform. Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"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."
"Amazon S3's unit of measure for expansion should be smaller."
"When we need to find the queries there is no user interface, it is the only textual format that is bulky. If we need some data we will use Athena for queries and we will get results. When comparing this solution to others, such as DataDog, they provide a wonderful UI, and user-friendly dashboards, and many other features that this solution is lacking."
"The installation could be more straightforward for inexperienced users."
"The read drive speed is not as fast as it should be."
"The down side is the web app should be aware of all the features that S3 provides in order to leverage its full potential."
"We would like Amazon to reduce the price of storage."
"No direct connector is available to connect Amazon S3 with other tools like MicroStrategy."
"Amazon S3 can improve by decreasing the overall costs."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"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."
"Security is an area for improvement. When there are vulnerabilities, there needs to be a faster approval process. The solution needs to automatically target the vulnerabilities and not waste too much time."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
