Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."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."
"AWS Cost Management is good for providing in-depth information in one place."
"The budgeting tool of AWS Cost Management is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup wasn't complex at all."
"I like the recommendation we get from AWS Cost Management to use a particular image or VM type."
"The stability and scalability are good."
"With the cost management tool, clients can optimize fine tuning their consumption."
"All of the reporting features are very good, as they allow us to track monthly expenses and send relevant emails."
"The capacity planning, forecasting, and Runways are worth their weight in gold. NCM has saved us time in IT, and that's money."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the hardware and how they have set it up to be pretty redundant. If something goes down, you can just swap it out and you're back online. If a drive or even a whole node goes down, it's pretty easy to get it back up and running."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's interface offers valuable insight, providing me with the comfort of knowing everything is functioning optimally and can be upgraded with a single click."
"The solution expands easily."
"The solution’s ease of use is mind-blowing."
"The fact that these are non-technical people — they're experts in their fields but they're definitely not technical — and they can just log in to the portal and select the resource that they believe they need, and manage it themselves, speaks to the ease of use. It shows them their live costs, etc., as they're spending. The fact that they can do that without any problems, or having to engage the IT teams, is a true testament to it. There's no need for any user training at all."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"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."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"We need finer-grained control over the roles and policies for users, specifying their permissions as to what they can look at."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."
"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."
"Data transfer between S3 buckets within AWS incurs costs, especially when moving data from one bucket to another or downloading data."
"I would like to see AWS Cost Management be more precise in their calculations."
"They should include more use cases for automation in administering the environment."
"I'd like them to offer a more flexible licensing model."
"We have a lot of projects so we cannot always dive deep into the material that Nutanix offers. We would like to but we have other priorities. It was a busy year. We have an external company that does things for us so we can make the process go faster. We know what we need and what we would like to achieve. I'm still on the learning curve."
"I cannot say Calm is providing centralized control of all our applications because we have some legacy systems. We have IBM iSeries, which is another technology. But with Calm we can centralize all our x86 machines."
"There is room for improvement in making the solution easier still. If you don't know Calm, it's not so easy to use... It is a really good solution for doing simple tasks, but it's not a good solution for complex tasks."
"I think the Prism Center needs to include more functions. I know that they're including the Nutanix Era, which is the database management and disaster recovery tool. I think that Era should include everything on a single tool where you can manage everything you need inside your organization."
"The flow and management capabilities of the platform could be improved to handle additional features and functionalities, especially since the company currently uses some other solutions from a competitor."
"Nutanix is one of two stacks where you can run everything you like. It would be nice if you could run it without the Nutanix appliance. Some clients don't use Nutanix engineering server hardware, so it would be helpful to run the Nutanix software for demos and tests."
