Integrates with many databases, clean GUI, and provides valuable real-time graphs

Like most people working with databases, we initially used the vendors' tools. These included applications like SQL Plus, PL/pgSQL, etc. They all are a bit limited and all respond differently to edits. Tools like Toad, PL/pgSQL developer, pgAdmin, and DBeaver have been in use but no tool could win here. Maybe some other tool has more options in a specific database but a lot of people have trouble finding them because of the cluttered interface. There are buttons for every feature. Here, DbVisualizer, shows strong and smart use of context menus, making the GUI a lot cleaner than most similar tools.

Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility

Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."

"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."

"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."

"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."

"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."

"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."

"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."

Cons

"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."

"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."

"There will always be room for improvement, there is nothing perfect from day one. There are some technical challenges that we have with NDS. I believe with time it will be sorted out."

"We have a regular license program because it's really expensive."

"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."

"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."

"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."

"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."

"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."

"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."

"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."

"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"The pricing is competitive."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."

"This solution is reasonably priced."
