Find out what your peers are saying about Nutanix, VMware, IBM and others in Cloud Management.
It simplifies the onboarding of new hardware, reducing time spent on manual installations and configurations.
Initially, the CapEx was higher than VMware's, but considering the operational cost over time, it has been beneficial.
For complex issues, it's challenging to get the right engineer quickly unless you have a specific contract like CX.
Cisco technical support is helpful.
Cisco provides better support than anyone else.
Basic means standard business hours support, Production means 24/7, Mission Critical means faster SLA with technical account managers connectivity, and Ultimate means full white-glove support with a dedicated team.
They respond within five minutes and provide excellent assistance.
Nutanix support is excellent, and their response time is extremely fast.
I rate its scalability a ten out of ten due to its capability to manage multiple domains and automate service requests.
Cisco Intersight is scalable enough for our needs, allowing management in a multi-environment setup and working remotely while deploying servers.
I rate the scalability as ten out of ten.
It is always accessible online, secure, and allows access from any location, following strict authentication standards.
Some steps are not included in the official documentation, which can create challenges.
Even after applying the upgrade, we had to patch again as there was a problem with Prism.
The entire Nutanix solution is stable.
It would be great to have a chat session mode AI so that when I am on standby and encountering issues, I could engage with it, much like ChatGPT.
There is a significant issue regarding migration from UCS Manager into Intersight without formatting the Fabric Interconnects (FI), which is problematic in a production environment.
When registering our devices and servers using tokens, auto-detection could make it easier by automatically identifying resources and adding them to the platform.
The presales and marketing team should inform clients about resource requirements, such as RAM used by CVM, to help manage expectations.
Currently, if I want to use NKP Ultimate or Pro features, I must pay separately, and the process is not easy, especially in Africa.
The pricing is fair and reasonable, particularly for enterprises.
Cisco Intersight's license cost is very high compared to AWS and Azure solutions, which have lower initiation costs.
The pricing mechanism sounds fair.
The cost is high, and the license payment is not easy in Africa due to numerous intermediaries between users and solution providers.
At first, the cost seemed heavy, but over time, its cost-effectiveness became evident.
It provides visibility into other products and storage, and is beneficial for environments where Cisco and other vendors coexist, allowing full visibility of the entire infrastructure.
This solution has provided time savings and required fewer people to operate this tool, rather than direct cost savings.
It also provides predictive analysis, predicting data leaks and making it easy to scale up servers remotely without requiring physical interference.
It simplifies firmware and software updates, making it hassle-free for IT engineers.
One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.
Cisco Intersight is Cisco’s systems management platform that delivers intuitive computing through cloud-powered intelligence. This platform offers a more intelligent level of management that enables IT organizations to analyze, simplify, and automate their environments in ways that were not possible with prior generations of tools. This capability empowers organizations to achieve significant savings in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and to deliver applications faster, so they can support new business initiates. The advantages of the model-based management of the Cisco UCS platform plus Cisco Intersight are extended to Cisco UCS servers and Cisco HyperFlex and Cisco HyperFlex Edge systems. Cisco HyperFlex Edge is optimized for remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments.
Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business. The Nutanix enterprise cloud platform leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design to natively converge compute, virtualization and storage into a resilient, software-defined solution with rich machine intelligence. The result is predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range of enterprise applications.
