We performed a comparison between Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution."
"Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"Nutanix has several unique capabilities to ensure linear scalability."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"The product is easy to manage."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array."
"NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something."
"They need to improve the look and feel of the interface. The functionality is fine, but the appearance could be better."
"We ran into an issue as a managed service provider because Acropolis isn't designed to be used the way we are running it. For example, if we want to deploy a Kubernetes service, the customer networks need to reach our protected cluster network. We have isolated our customers in separate VLANs. However, our customers' networks must access our cluster network to get features like iSCSI or Kubernetes to run. It's challenging."
"This solution offers excellent functionality but could use a stronger interface."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"It would be fantastic if there was a built-in layer, in Nutanix, that acted like a cloud interface. So far, we need to integrate a cloud interface on top of Nutanix for billing the usage for specific customers' domains. It would be great if a cloud gateway was built-in, inside Nutanix."
"The software-defined networking should be improved. It is quite substandard as compared to the VMware variant. The software-defined networking is quite limited, and we usually use other products to do that. We're aware that Nutanix is working on that and will be coming out with better solutions, and we can't wait because to do a fully software-defined architecture, the abstraction layer needs not only software-defined storage, which you have, but also the software-defined networking piece."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
