Find out in this report how the two Cloud Cost Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup process is easy."
"It encompasses a multitude of specialized services, each with its associated costs and considerations."
"The most valuable features of Azure Cost Management are the ability to set standards or tagging policies and initiatives. You can achieve higher cost optimization."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Cost Management is its way of segregating accounts based on resources."
"The most valuable feature is that our customers can see their consumption in real time. Even though we have a couple of analytics provided by our company, those are not in real time."
"We don't actually use the Azure Cost Management features. We have our own capabilities. We put our own technology on top of Azure as Azure doesn't deliver a really good cost optimization, so our customers come to us to enhance what they're potentially doing inside their Azure platform."
"The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."
"Good control features and user interface."
"The product is pretty intuitive and easy to learn."
"It made it a lot easier to spin up these tenant environments with little to no administrative overhead."
"It's easily expandable storage-wise and compute-wise."
"The best part of it is that when you use the product, there's no secret proprietary magic that you experience as a user. The real genius is under the covers, so it makes the user experience very straightforward and easy. It's a wonderful solution to teach partners about. The ease of use is something a lot of suppliers talk about, but Nutanix does it better than anyone else."
"The Nutanix technical support is very, very good."
"Nutanix Prism Pro and Nutanix AOS have greatly improved our organization by providing a reliable and simple solution that requires little to no maintenance in order to successfully offer a stable service to our clientele, as opposed to the competitors."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager Intelligent Operations has multi-cloud capability, allowing users to switch between cloud providers or vendors without incurring egress or movement fees."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Azure Cost Management could automatically generate budget rules using AI insights, eliminating the need for manual configuration."
"The solution needs an automated dashboard and better reporting."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now."
"Azure Cost Management needs to improve scalability."
"The tool's pricing should be made cheaper."
"The response time of customer support can be improved."
"I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting."
"Nutanix, as of today, they do not have many of the features that VMware hypervisor provides, such as the memory layer."
"I think one of the points to improve is having the platform with multiple languages, for example Spanish, seriously, one point to consider is a valid point for me, my native language is Spanish, being in Venezuela."
"In the gambling industry, you have a lot of regulation from different countries. One of those regulations states that you have to be able to send all the logs of your Prism to a separate server, what we call the syslog server. On Prism Central, this doesn't work. We have opened a case for it, since this is a basic feature nowadays. We spoke to Nutanix, and they said that it will be in future updates. We did an update, following their support, but once we did the update, it wasn't fixed."
"We have faced some issues during operations, but when we log a case with Nutanix support, they help us to resolve them."
"Our sister company currently uses an outdated database technology, Sybase, which presents challenges in migrating to a newer database. Despite our efforts to encourage them to move to a different database, the company's 25 years of code and data basic make it difficult to do so. We are open to any level of support or guidance that can help us manage the Sybase database, even if it's not a fully managed solution. Direction on how to scale, improve, and optimize tables and queries within Sybase would be greatly appreciated."
"There should be more APIs to integrate with different vendors and to integrate with the existing solutions that we use on-prem."
"I consider it a very complete platform, for now, I believe it is very good. It could be advanced and more updated over time. I would like to see updates like the creation of basic applications for monitoring through tables, telephones, external updates, sending manuals, or informational brochures by mail to go hand in hand with the platform and its updates."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
