Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"Minor stability issues."
"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
