Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect is that it comes in a rack form factor which makes it incredibly easy to use and deploy various AWS services.""Outposts allows you to isolate your private environment from the public cloud provider while enabling almost all the features that are available on public cloud services. That is the beauty of this service. It's an infrastructure that you can put in your data center and seamlessly connect to the public cloud.""I think the keys to success for the solution is the easy-to-use user interface and the fact that the development team really likes the platform.""The most valuable aspect is its ability to provide interfaces for events.""AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and API to our on-premises data center or co-location facilities.""If you compare with the full bundle of these services, you can see the difference. This is enough for these locations in private data centers. Because the main reasons why the customers want to have it on their side are for the low latency and the security of their critical data."

"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud.""Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful.""The solution can scale well.""The scalability is good.""The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data.""In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution.""I've been very pleased with their support overall.""The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."

Cons
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options.""Outposts supports elastic coordinator services, but not elastic container services, which is the native service for containers in AWS. That is something missing in this product.""The platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers.""It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion.""The pricing model needs improvement because right now it's very expensive. All of these solutions are very expensive and it prevents other customers or owners of data centers from buying it.""Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."

More AWS Outposts Cons →

"The pricing can be better.""Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be.""There are still some things that could be improved about the product.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""We've had some challenges with the implementation.""The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""The reporting has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing of Outposts needs to be evaluated from the standpoint of what's cost-effective at your company: How are you going to use it? How much money will it save for your products or applications? Is it worth it? I would say it's probably too expensive for small or medium-sized companies. However, big companies might find it to be highly cost-effective depending on their respective cloud strategies."
  • "While the longer-term pricing is suitable for enterprise contracts, it can be on the higher side, especially when organizations don't utilize all the services included in the bundles."
  • "AWS Outposts is a cheap solution."

  • "I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
  • "There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
  • "The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
  • "The price is high."
