Quick and easy deployment; great recovery

Veeam should work more closely with vCenter. Sometimes the Veeam backup can cause errors that can affect some of operations within the VMware machines. I cannot say whether the bug is with VMware or Veeam, but the companies should work together on this. Also, when something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately. Any time I spend on the phone with technical support translates into losses for my company. So, training would be very beneficial. Empower me to use your product efficiently. It would also be nice for long-term customers to receive some sort of recognition in terms of price reduction.

The major improvement recommended for Nutanix Prism is more multi-cloud cost optimization. It shows performance and usage but is limited in detailed cross-cloud cost analysis. Improvement is needed for deeper FinOps-style ML insights that compare costs between on-premise, AWS, Azure, etc. Enhancements for the current mobile version of Prism are necessary as its functions are limited. Full mobile native control with real-time alerts and AI suggestions are required for one-click actions. Better integration with third-party tools and predictive maintenance for hardware is needed; currently, the focus is on VM and storage, not hardware life cycle. Predictions for node-level hardware failures or SSD wear-out, fan sensor alerts in advance are essential improvements, as is AI-based security threat detection focusing on unusual login patterns such as ransomware behavior or privilege escalations.

"Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly."

"Prism has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console and Nutanix offers a lot of features and software, including automation and networking tools that make it very competitive with VMware."

"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

Cons

"When something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix. I'm running a banking solution at my company and when there's a problem, I need to be proactive and quick to resolve the problem immediately."

"When something breaks, it's not easy for us to fix."

"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."

"I would like more insights about virtual machines. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about resource allocation and usage, so we can distribute resources and reassign them more efficiently."

"The licensing cost has room for improvement."

"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."

"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."

"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

"The pricing is one factor that could be better. The cluster licensing and how it works is another."

"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."

"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."

"Nutanix have bundles for pricing. On a single bundle, we get everything including vSAN or VMware and there are no additional costs. It is just a single license that is needed."

"The licensing is fairly high in price. If someone can get over the fact that the licensing is fairly expensive, I would say Nutanix is the way to go. It is expensive, but to me, it's worth it."

"Nutanix Prism is affordable. It depends on the category of license you select. They have multiple options, and we selected the one that was suitable for our infrastructure and requirements. The licensing model worked for us."

"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."
