Improves time management by reducing database provisioning time
The feature I appreciate the most in Nutanix Database Service is the Time Machine. The simplicity of the Time Machine feature in Nutanix Database Service and being able to have a point in time that you can go back to at whatever your retention period is, is really great and helpful for us. The Time Machine feature in Nutanix Database Service has definitely reduced turnaround time for when we need clones or other environments spun up off of our existing environment, such as for corruption. It has helped the workload significantly. We're a very small team of database administrators. It worked really effectively for them and helped the workflow much more than our previous solution. Using Nutanix Database Service has reduced the time it takes to provision a database by 75%. 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. Being able to clone and spin up other environments off of what we already have in NDB eases turnaround time when requests come in, and we're able to fill them and get them back to the business and make them available to customers. We've been able to automate DBA tasks. It simplifies turnaround time. Our DBA can deploy on how own and no longer waits for requests to be fulfilled.

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."
"Now, it is literally taking under an hour, which is a drastic improvement."
"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."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."
"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."
"The business has been ecstatic over the quick turnaround time for any databases."
"The benefit I see from the product in terms of its solution is that flexibility regarding where the workload runs is probably the biggest advantage with Nutanix Database Service."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"I don't have a comprehensive answer because we're not utilizing it extensively."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"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."
"Nutanix Database Service can be improved by enhancing logging; when we're trying to look for errors, one of the hiccups we always run into is that it's very hard to pinpoint and look through the logs."
"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. That's the only thing that we've discovered so far."
"The only thing which is stopping Nutanix from being a bigger player in the market is the price of the software."
"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
"It is amazing. The pricing compared to the time saved is nothing. It's worth the cost."
"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 pricing is competitive."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Pricing wasn't a surprise. It was what we were expecting it to be."
"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
"I wasn't involved much with the pricing and setup costs and licenses. The pricing was as expected."
