Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."

"What I appreciate the most about Nutanix Database Service is that it's simple; it's all in one bundle, and everything is pre-configured so that you can deploy your database and protect it."

"I would rate Nutanix Database Service a ten out of ten."

"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."

"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."

"The efficiency gained by using Nutanix Database Service has led to a positive impact on our business as far as bringing in new applications and workloads."

"I appreciate being able to provision a database quickly from our side. We provision it and hand it off. It makes work much easier. Previously, it would take a week or two to do the same in a traditional way, whereas now, it gets completed within about an hour."

"The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting."

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

More Nutanix Database Service pros

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."

"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."

"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."

"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."

"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."

"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

"In the past, there were built-in templates, and now, for some particular databases, I have to create my own templates and push them to NDB, so bringing back those templates would save more time."

"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"It is amazing. The pricing compared to the time saved is nothing. It's worth the cost."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"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."

"Pricing wasn't a surprise. It was what we were expecting it to be."
