Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The stability and scalability are good."
"All of the reporting features are very good, as they allow us to track monthly expenses and send relevant emails."
"The initial setup wasn't complex at all."
"With the cost management tool, clients can optimize fine tuning their consumption."
"The tool's cost management feature provides a comprehensive view of AWS costs, allowing us to plan and make cost-effective decisions. With AWS Cost Explorer, we can perform cost planning, generate recommendations, and provide clients with suggestions for resizing. This feature includes data filtering and protection, offering users insights into spending patterns through AWS spending patterns and planning tools. The product is easy to learn."
"I like the recommendation we get from AWS Cost Management to use a particular image or VM type."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"AWS Cost Management is good for providing in-depth information in one place."
"The product is pretty intuitive and easy to learn."
"Previous inquiries took us almost a full day to prepare the VM to the liking of our users. Now the deployment time is below 15 minutes and users can do it on their own! That leaves us to only update the blueprints if new requirements come in or new Windows Versions are published. As we have now predefined setups the testing team can rely on common ground for their product tests. Development teams can experiment with alpha versions in a secured environment (separate VLANs) without harming production machines."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Prism Pro are the user interface is quite easy to understand and it provides easy management for administrators."
"The file server feature in Nutanix is very good, offering a solution-worthy feature that can host files, blocks, and object storage in the same cluster."
"I like the analytics and the interface. Nutanix is easy to deploy and manage."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager has increased our productivity higher than what it used to be. We used to spend four hours on server checking. Nutanix gave us three and a half hours back from those four hours to do normal work."
"Prism Pro has given us a central administration of our entire virtual environment. Everything can be managed and updated through Prism. Being able to turn features on and off with one slide of the mouse is such a great feature. It allows us to manage storage and containers as well as the actual machines through one pane of glass. No need for any additional software. Pulse is in my opinion is one of the best features. Having the cluster monitor itself and notify support of any issues is a plus plus."
"I really like the Nutanix Marketplace a lot. We publish standard workloads there and that, in combination with the Projects, allows for self-service, which is the most powerful feature of Calm."
"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"I would like to see the forecasting models improved with AWS Cost Management."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"I would like to see AWS Cost Management be more precise in their calculations."
"The solution needs to have its own dashboard for seeing details on it. It should be customizable as well so I have the ability to pull up the information I need to see and have it in one place for my reference. I should just be able to click and see everything I need in one step."
"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."
"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"I would like to see it be able to apply a category to a project, and then have that category applied to all the VMs that are deployed within a project."
"In the next release, I would like to see more cloud providers like Micro BH or local providers."
"It could maybe have better documentation. Nutanix does have really good documentation, but it could have more details in the future."
"In this solution, it is difficult to organize the VM folders and subfolders."
"We'd like the demos to be longer - maybe two to three months. Some clients need much more time for a POC."
"If you're still running tiered architecture for the storage, it would be good to give stats on the amount of data that is warehoused in the cold tier versus the hot tier."
"There are some cases when there are multiple alerts for the same issue. For example, if I forget to put it in hosting maintenance mode, then I start getting multiple, duplicate alerts for the same host, which we don't want. If I have already received an alert, I don't want another alert. So, there are sometimes false positive alerts because of update activity where we forgot to put it in maintenance mode, then we get multiple alerts or emails."
