Eric Popiel - PeerSpot reviewer
Good support, highly scalable, and a great cloud-like experience on-prem
Moving to a consumption model is highly desirable from the client side. everyone seems to be moving in that direction. It provides a cloud-like experience on-prem. It simplified it for the most part. When you look at a lot of the storage and historically how it's been done, you're doing a lot of forecasting, a lot of business justification, a lot of purchasing of hardware, and oversizing for growth, et cetera. The pay-as-you-go model is a much more simplified way of doing things. And it offers more flexibility. The scale capacity improves and simplifies the experience in terms of growth and performance. A lot of clients I work with have performance requirements. I work heavily in financial and healthcare segments and those need 24/7/365 performance with no downtime. GreenLake helped to reduce our operational expenses.
Vishnu Mohan - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized management and high resiliency streamline data storage with immediate benefits and scalability
The most effective features of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) for us are about making multiple copies of our data across hardware nodes, ensuring that if there is a hardware failure, we still don't lose our data, which I think is the most important. Also, they have a file solution that is good for file shares, and that is of value to us. The switch from solutions such as IBM to Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) was driven by the need for different skill sets for a separate storage team and separate compute team. Maintaining these old devices was getting prohibitively high, so consolidating everything onto Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) made sense and allowed one set of Nutanix engineers to manage the entire estate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is very good."
"The feature I like is that I can create a template and apply it to multiple switches. I don't have to do the same task on every switch, and the same goes for access points. It's central management, with the features that come with central management."
"The uptime, the guarantee from HPE, and NVMe Storage are valuable."
"The unified management experience has been great. That's a huge advantage."
"The ease of use, the reporting, and the setup are excellent."
"Today I get a better deduplication level compared to the previous generations. That means the price per gigabyte or terabyte is lower for me."
"Moving to a consumption model is highly desirable from the client side. everyone seems to be moving in that direction."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The performance of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) increased almost 50%."
"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"The simplicity of management is valuable because, in more traditional environments, the platform updates are much more complex."
"The performance has been very good."
"The reliability and stability of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is good, and the disaster recovery component is something impressive for this product."
"The product is good, easy to upgrade, easy to use, and user-friendly."
"The biggest return on investment for me when using Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is the management aspect since it's easier to manage."
 

Cons

"With support, occasionally, we have a little trouble escalating things."
"The marketplace should improve. There should be a more robust variety of vendors."
"You need two different boxes for block and file storage."
"The debugging of devices could use improvement. Connection problems on devices as well."
"The solution could improve the integration with sustainability-related services. A lot of clients ask us about that."
"The classifying of the data could be better."
"Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) can be improved involve the limitations I've seen in Files Analytics, specifically to the number of FSVMs today that File Analytics can analyze."
"When it comes to Nutanix Files, one thing that would be great is a slightly easier way of managing snapshots and restore points, especially when a third party is involved."
"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"I would them to have more communication with other platforms, and it appears they are already doing that."
"For future updates, I think Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) should look at features similar to what ONTAP of NetApp is doing, such as tiering to the public cloud."
"The interface could be improved."
"I really want some AI or even basic AI to be included in the Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) license."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price seems okay for us. It is what we expect for this kind of storage."
"Nutanix is very competitive."
"Nutanix Unified Storage was cheaper than other solutions we evaluated."
"The pricing of Nutanix is generally higher compared to other vendors, which is a common observation, but it provides value through its support and features offered to customers."
"It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
"If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
"Nutanix Unified Storage isn't expensive."
"The pricing is fair."
"It's competitive and attractive for moving things to it and then prioritizing those newly freed up resources for something else."
