Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has good integration."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The product is easy to manage."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"Simplified management: It provides us more time to work on other tasks."
"Ease of deployment"
"It is very easy to clone systems using the solution."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"It's a very complex solution."
"The product could be easy to use."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
"The self-service side of the product needs to be improved. We should be able to add two-factor authentication and more security layers to it."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"As of now, Acropolis and VMware cannot talk to each other. Until we have some kind of interface, it would be much better for Nutanix if they built an interface that can talk. Otherwise, if I have a VMware stack and I already have a Nutanix stack, I can create containers, I create clusters on VMware, I create clusters on Nutanix."
