Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"All of the reporting features are very good, as they allow us to track monthly expenses and send relevant emails."
"I like the recommendation we get from AWS Cost Management to use a particular image or VM type."
"The stability and scalability are good."
"The budgeting tool of AWS Cost Management is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup wasn't complex at all."
"AWS Cost Management is good for providing in-depth information in one place."
"The product provides the ability to set cost limits and budgets for a set of resources on the network."
"Nutanix Prism Pro improves the quality and efficiency of IT operations for the modern datacenter. Powered by the machine learning and task automation, Prism Pro intelligently optimizes capacity, proactively detects performance anomalies, and enables the IT team to automate operations tasks with ease and confidence."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"The most valuable feature is less or no implementation time. It should be up and running at any point in time so I don't spend time in transformation."
"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 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."
"The ability to do Layer 2 stretching across data centers is valuable. The migration of VMs from one location to the other is also valuable."
"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."
"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."
"AWS Cost Management has fewer features compared to Azure Cost Management."
"AWS could improve the compatibility with other products."
"There could be an option to build custom dashboards for the platform."
"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."
"This program is not very scalable."
"The solution needs to improve the communication mechanism available to the stakeholders."
"Data transfer between S3 buckets within AWS incurs costs, especially when moving data from one bucket to another or downloading data."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would appreciate more advanced networking features in the dashboard."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see more cloud providers like Micro BH or local providers."
"Nowadays, we see systems breaking a lot. I know that the current features of Nutanix Cloud Manager help to monitor the container world and modern applications, but as more microservices are getting deployed, more micro-management of those services needs to be done."
"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."
"NCM's pricing structure is confusing and difficult to understand."
"It could maybe have better documentation. Nutanix does have really good documentation, but it could have more details in the future."
