Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"The storage management is one of the best."
"The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors."
"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"The HTML5 interface is very robust."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN."
"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"Performance metrics and analytics could be improved."
"The VM backup could be better, and its licensing could be better. We have had some licensing issues with Nutanix Files. The default license should be 1 TB or more. Currently, for Nutanix Files sharing, we can only use 500 Gigabytes."
"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
