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."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."

"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."

"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."

"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 Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."

"With Oracle, it took around one hour to refresh the database and now, with Nutanix, it takes a quarter of that time."

"There are a lot of options for working with the database."

More Nutanix Database Service pros

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

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

"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."

"One of the things that we've discovered specific to SQL is that the deployment options that are available do not match our company standards, so we have asked the Nutanix team if that is something that is customizable or if we need to adjust our deployment strategy."

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

"I don't have a comprehensive answer because we're not utilizing it extensively."

"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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."

"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."

"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."

"I wasn't involved much with the pricing and setup costs and licenses. The pricing was as expected."

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

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"The tool is expensive."

"The pricing is competitive."
