Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
9.2
Flexera CMP significantly boosts cost savings, efficiency, resource allocation, and performance, offering flexibility and accurate budget planning for tech management.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nutanix Cloud Clusters users experience 15%-50% cost savings through reduced administration, hardware needs, and increased efficiency.
In time, it has proven beneficial because we no longer have to have hands-on management of a server environment; really, one engineer does it.
In comparison, five years ago, we purchased 30 nodes on-prem, and now we are only using six nodes in Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).
I would say our total cost of ownership has been reduced by approximately 30% to 50%.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Flexera Cloud Management Platform offers expert, efficient support and proactive outreach, enhancing reliability and user satisfaction in cloud management.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nutanix support is praised for expertise and proactivity, though some suggest improvement in response speed for complex issues.
The people I get are intelligent and know how to fix the issue the first time I call them, so it's been great.
The customer service and technical support have been very helpful; they jump on calls with us and stay engaged until any issues are resolved.
They're good and help us whenever we need them.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Flexera CMP scales efficiently, managing large workloads and multi-cloud environments with seamless integration and comprehensive visibility and control.
Sentiment score
7.8
Nutanix Cloud Clusters offers robust scalability, allowing efficient resource expansion for diverse company sizes and cloud deployments.
During builds, it was very scalable, and adding or removing nodes was far quicker than if we were to do that on-prem in our own data center.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales very effectively with the growing needs of my company, and it does so very fast and quickly.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales amazingly with the growing needs of our company.

Room For Improvement

Flexera CMP needs improved automation, third-party integrations, cost management, support, documentation, pricing clarity, and more accurate billing.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters need better pricing, intuitive interface, scalability, seamless integration, and enhanced security and support services.
The one thing that stands out is the costing, especially if you check the NCM module, where you see the cost of the VM, which is defined by the customer rather than how the calculations work if that VM is a reserved instance.
My suggestion would be getting up to speed on ransomware and evolving, as attackers are always one step ahead of what's out there.
Some features that people say Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) lacks could be simplified to make it easier, such as a single pane of glass, and getting more into Google Cloud would be very helpful for our team as we're working on GCP interfaces.
 

Setup Cost

Flexera Cloud Management Platform offers subscription-based pricing, providing value through features for cost optimization, governance, and automation despite higher costs.
Enterprise buyers highlight Nutanix's high pricing, but appreciate license portability and support, mitigating cost concerns through strategic alliances.
Our partners at Nutanix did work with us recently and reduced a huge licensing cost for us.
For us, the pricing and costs have been fair.
When working with my sales representatives, everything is included, they've been very helpful, and it's been within our price range for the most part.
 

Valuable Features

Flexera CMP excels in cost management, automation, multi-cloud integration, reporting, deployment ease, and scalability, improving efficiency and visibility.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters enhance scalability, cost-efficiency, and productivity with seamless management, automation, and robust hybrid environment capabilities.
We're not limited based on the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth.
We used to have a light-for-light kind of build-out in another data center in a different location. Now, we can pare that down to just a couple of nodes and know that we can burst it out when we need to.
Nutanix's license portability is a very valuable tool for us because we were building our own data center, so we've bought on-prem licenses and then utilize that for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).

Good CMPs for cloud provisioning and excellent scalability
There is a problem with integration due to invalid private node security certificates. However, the issue can be resolved by correcting the certificates. Getting OEMs like Huawei or Morpheus to change their products is difficult, but we found a middle ground where both Huawei and Morpheus can integrate seamlessly through Terraform. So far, the integration has been successful, but it may create a problem when the platform is under a huge load of 46 million students. We have already requested the World Bank and universities to build their case. If that kind of situation arises, they can approach Huawei and Morpheus or go with Plexadera in the end. Although the RSP or SMAX are built around Morpheus specifications specifically, we still have more certified engineers in Pakistan to win that project. The higher education commission of Pakistan has already taken up the matter with both Morpheus and Huawei. VMware refused to do anything, but Huawei has agreed to change the certificate if there is an issue. We have already identified the issue, so they will correct it if the cloud solution is finally deployed for that number of students.
