Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and 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 takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"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."
"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."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"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."
"Minor stability issues."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
