We performed a comparison between AWS Outposts and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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 aspect is that it comes in a rack form factor which makes it incredibly easy to use and deploy various AWS services."
"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."
"With AWS, we've had seamless integration and support for many of our applications."
"The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"It has seamless expandability."
"There are a lot of features in Nutanix that are different from other hyper-converged solutions, such as site-to-site replication. VM-based site-to-site replication is bundled with the software licensing. For the DR, it has the availability groups, which is one of the key features that Nutanix provides."
"The configuration is easy, and it's flexible."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options."
"It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion."
"The platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers."
"Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."
"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."
"It would be great if it could support Glue services."
"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."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"Our client had some old Citrix Xen servers for which there is no direct migration. Nutanix has a move utility for Microsoft Hyper-V clusters or VMware clusters. You can easily migrate them using the move utility, but the Xen clusters cannot be migrated in a simple way. That is the only thing that is lacking, but nowadays, no one uses the Citrix Xen server for their clusters. Everything else is already there. Nutanix keeps on upgrading its hardware's or hypervisor's capability to be able to support new technologies."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"In the next release of this solution, they could improve by being more competitive with VMware. I would like all third-party solutions to work well with Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
