Room For Improvement

CloudAware requires enhanced cloud logs management, cost-effective customization, better UI, integration, AI, and threat management for improved usability.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters needs better pricing, interfaces, scalability, and enhanced tools for setup, integration, and cross-platform compatibility.
Approximately seventy percent of organizations are focused on threat management across their cloud servers, a space where CloudAware excels, and additional customization would enhance overall security while increasing CloudAware's revenue.
Senior Manager at Agriculture Skill Council of India

DGM, Content Vertical at Agriculture Skill Council of India
I need some cost optimization solution for a workload running in AWS.
Associate Vice President at Hitachi Systems India Private Limited
The one thing that stands out is the costing, especially if you check the NCM module, where you see the cost of the VM, which is defined by the customer rather than how the calculations work if that VM is a reserved instance.

My suggestion would be getting up to speed on ransomware and evolving, as attackers are always one step ahead of what's out there.

Nutanix's license portability is a very valuable tool for us because we were building our own data center, so we've bought on-prem licenses and then utilize that for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).

Dr. Vandana Tatra - PeerSpot reviewer

Unified cloud governance has transformed audits and now improves real-time cost control
The best features CloudAware offers include strong IT compliance and governance, which my team appreciates significantly due to our frequent audits. Additionally, the built-in observability has increased transparency across all management levels; everyone now accesses the same set of information promptly. We have optimized our cloud spending by approximately 40 percent in the last two years, as operating on a singular integrated platform simplifies database and asset management while reducing maintenance costs. The observability feature of CloudAware has streamlined our multi-cloud and on-premises visibility, enhancing our IT infrastructure efficiency. With around 20 to 30 people managing daily data from entry to monitoring, tasks that previously took 24 to 48 hours now occur in real-time. My senior management has access to accurate asset tracking and discovery at any moment, which has strengthened our credibility and transparency with clients. Additionally, the introduction of cloud security posture management features, including unique cloud security policies for each asset, has greatly decreased risk and improved threat response automation. We requested a centralized cloud logging reporting system that provides detailed access logs, which has been implemented and is highly valued. CloudAware has positively impacted our organization by becoming the backbone of our cloud operations. It secures our confidential data and optimizes every aspect, from policy compliance to data reporting, enabling us to manage heavy datasets effectively. Our operations have seen increased productivity, allowing us to onboard more clients and deliver multiple projects simultaneously, all while reducing cloud spending by four crores annually.

Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming
What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.
