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

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

"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The provisioning and other features of Nutanix Database Service have improved my company by making it easy to deploy the databases, and DBAs can just deploy what they need as needed instead of having to manually create VMs for them individually and install the databases and setting everything up with DBAs provisioning databases themselves."

"This is a very useful solution for database management."

"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."

"Nutanix Database Service could be improved by making it just a little bit less complex regarding the interface."

"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."

"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."

"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."

"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."

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

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

"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

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

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"The pricing is competitive."
