We performed a comparison between CloudStack and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Multiple types of hypervisor support, multi-zone support, and VPC are great valuable features."
"Key features include stability, centralized management design that scales well, and transparent interoperability with different hypervisors and manufacturers.."
"The API with CloudStack made integration into various external facing web applications simple enough."
"CloudStack’s private gateway networking feature is what enables us to offer utmost security and confidentially to our customers and partners, by enabling them to connect to their virtual data centers via dedicated, encrypted, private fiber lines that never touch the public internet space. Ease of setup and management are certainly important additional benefits for us on the engineering team."
"You can build your own cloud and make it customizable with APIs."
"It was easy to deploy, both for PoC and production (with HA)."
"It has become easy to deploy new devices with no or minimal hardware changes. Now, a user can be ready to use a firewall within a few minutes, as compared to the traditional physical model which involved purchase, shipping, hardware configuration, cabling, power, etc."
"The structuring of the components and isolated environments helped us when using parts of the framework at different levels of product development."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"The scalability is good."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"A technology upgrade is one item which could be improved upon a lot."
"For time consuming operations like storage migrations, volume Snapshot restore and the like, we faced issues like MySQL operations timing out and status update failures. Those areas needs improvement."
"It would be great to have a couple of “external” networks for VPC and have the possibility, for each domain, to choose they type of “external” network."
"The product does not have an easily implementable payment gateway."
"VPN P2S is cutting all connections except the CloudStack environment for the user when he is connected. I would like to have VPN like Cisco's AnyConnect."
"I would like to see support for native VLAN, and fault-tolerance."
"It is not widely used so Google does not help very much when you are troubleshooting, and the CloudStack forum is not very active."
"It would be a good to have more specific error messages within administration processes (e.g. problem with creating new instance)."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"The pricing can be better."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
