In the cloud clusters, we can instantly request a host-level host to add to Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2), and it will automatically expand.

Room For Improvement

Flexera CMP needs improved automation, third-party integrations, cost management, support, documentation, pricing clarity, and more accurate billing.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters needs better pricing, interfaces, scalability, and enhanced tools for setup, integration, and cross-platform compatibility.
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.
Global Infrastructure& Cloud Operations at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
My suggestion would be getting up to speed on ransomware and evolving, as attackers are always one step ahead of what's out there.
Manager, Information Technology Engineers at IBC Bank
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.
Vice President, Technical Operations at The IT Group, LLC
 

Setup Cost

Flexera Cloud Management Platform offers subscription-based pricing, providing value through features for cost optimization, governance, and automation despite higher costs.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters pricing is costly but fair, with migration challenges, license portability, and expense optimization benefits.
Our partners at Nutanix did work with us recently and reduced a huge licensing cost for us.
Manager, Information Technology Engineers at IBC Bank
For us, the pricing and costs have been fair.
Senior IT Engineer at Estes Express Lines
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.
Vice President, Technical Operations at The IT Group, LLC
 

Valuable Features

Flexera CMP excels in cost management, automation, multi-cloud integration, reporting, deployment ease, and scalability, improving efficiency and visibility.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters provide efficient management, scalability, cost optimization, and seamless integration across hybrid environments, enhancing disaster recovery.
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.
Manager, Information Technology Engineers at IBC Bank
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.
Senior IT Engineer at Estes Express Lines
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).
Director at Lightpath

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.

Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming
What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by 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. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.
