It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it's low
An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely. Besides a call center, we have a lot of employees in the field and on the road, therefore for management to have access to those numbers quickly, it would be very helpful.

Efficiently manage virtual machines with robust disaster recovery
Nutanix Prism is mainly used for our daily operations, similar to VMware. Despite the lack of extraordinary features, it efficiently manages our daily operations now that we are managing our VMs. One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations."
"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."
"The storage management is one of the best."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."
"We can also manage our disaster recovery plan from a single console."
"Because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using."
"Nutanix Prism is mainly used for our daily operations, similar to VMware."
 

Cons

"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"The dashboard visibility could be improved."
"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."
"They don't have many organized documents for troubleshooting problems. If you look at the support portal or the website, you will not get detailed information about problems or redirection to more information. They should continue working on the software solution but enlarge the documentation."
"There are no firewall policies."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."
"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."
"Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."
"A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."
"This product is cheaper than using VMware."
"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."
"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."
"Nutanix is a little pricier, but the features it has are worth it."
