We performed a comparison between Azure NetApp Files and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Migration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure NetApp Files has been stable."
"One aspect of Azure NetApp Files that I truly appreciate is its remarkable performance capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution is replication to another region and the performance. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward."
"The critical features of this solution are SnapMirror for replication, data protection, and SnapLock."
"Using NetApp Files got us out of a really difficult situation quickly, effectively, and at a reasonable cost."
"This solution definitely makes us more efficient in being able to provide storage quickly to our customers in the Azure Cloud."
"Its security and ease of use are most valuable."
"It has saved a lot of time. Because in the older, conventional hardware system, they need to raise a ticket to go to storage engineering, then storage engineering would increased the size. Now, it's dynamic. You don't have to do anything. This improved the time by more than 50 percent."
"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."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"The solution can scale well."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The scalability is good."
"The deployment process is somewhat complex compared to other storage solutions."
"This solution would be improved with more innovation."
"We would like for the files which are coming in that we can version them. So, if a file is accidentally deleted, there should have a recycle bin option where we can go back, and at least once, clean it up."
"I have a hunch that storage could be now the most expensive portion of our monthly bill. So I can imagine that, not this year, but next year we will be talking about looking deeper into ways how we can optimize the cost."
"We would like to see more paired regions for the replication."
"We would like to have backup functionality built-in so that we don't run into the issue where the replication process makes a copy of the corrupted data."
"I would like to see multi-zone redundancy so that I don't have to worry about it. I just back up my data to that one SMB share and I know that it's replicated to a different region."
"The pricing definitely needs to be improved."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
