We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The flexibility is the most advantageous aspect of the solution. Our system has a very big environment. Due to this, the replication and backup operation is not an easy task. We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"One of the most valuable features of Nutanix is that it's easy to use. I love this solution—it's easy to maintain and update, and I think it's almost perfect."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"The tool is simple, stable, and easy to upgrade. It also requires few resources to manage, which simplifies our work. The solution's ease of upgrading is its valuable feature. AHV, provided by Nutanix, is excellent in performance and ease of use. It's based on an open-source product called KVM, which I also use for other services."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"Performing a Nutanix software upgrade is a very simple and non-disruptive process."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its management. I would like the tool to add cloud management features so that the system can be accessed anywhere from the cloud."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"USB dongle-based licenses do not allow us to directly locate the USB ports on Nutanix."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
