Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a very stable solution."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"It's a software storage solution that can scale as we like. There is also has a parallel feature that enhances the performance of the storage solution. We can separate storage and computing, and we can scale these two parts of the platform to meet business needs efficiently."
"Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients."
"Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great."
"During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime."
"I am very happy with this product's ability to adapt, increase, and modify existing infrastructures."
"DataCore has helped provide flexible, highly available, high-performance storage that otherwise would have been outside our price range."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The life cycle managers of the PCMs are very impressive, and I like them. They make our lives easy when managing patches and security updates when they come in. A life cycle manager helps to consolidate different vendors."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"The inclusion of it in the Nutanix Objects Storage platform simplifies my process as I am no longer required to acquire a separate platform. Instead, I can simply purchase additional licenses as needed. All management can be performed from a single unified interface, making it a convenient and streamlined experience."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."

"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical interface."
"I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparing."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"Problem detection could be easier. It should help customers identify problems very quickly because it's not easy to analyze on the platform today."
"The cloud reporting interface is quite poor compared to other vendors."
"I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report."
"Right now, the version used is run on Microsoft Windows Server. Having a Linux version or even an appliance would be better as it would eliminate the use of additional licensing for another piece of hardware."
"The solution is very expensive."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
