Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

IT System Administrator at Bandhan Bank

Reduced our administration and rack space significantly, with everything in one box

Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters. If we were able to manage the whole data center from the single pane of glass, it would be more helpful. I think that would help all customers. Also, Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation is limited right now to AHV clusters, meaning only Nutanix clusters. If it could integrate with all my infrastructure, I would have a pane of glass where I could manage my whole data center, including microsegmentation. They really need to extend its features beyond the Nutanix infrastructure. That is the one thing I would really like to see improvement on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."

"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "

"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."

"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

More HPE OneView pros

"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."

"Nutanix Prism is popular in the Indian market, particularly in enterprises where they need a DR type of environment, and where they look for less than finite RPO and RTO. If you have this environment on-premises, and if you can just rent out some portion to any of the service providers, then you can easily set up a DR environment to give you a finite list versus RPO and RTO."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."

"The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great."

"Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution."

"It is stable and reliable."

"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."

"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."

"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."

"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

More HPE OneView cons

"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."

"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."

"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."

"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."

"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."

"The VM backup could be better, and its licensing could be better. We have had some licensing issues with Nutanix Files. The default license should be 1 TB or more. Currently, for Nutanix Files sharing, we can only use 500 Gigabytes."

"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."

"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"Use it. It is free."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"As far as pricing goes, it's competitive for what you get. There are probably less expensive hyper-converged solutions, but I don't think they're as mature or have the feature set that we get with Nutanix."

"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."

"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."

"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."

"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."

"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

"...we use it for small and medium-sized businesses. For those companies, Nutanix is too expensive, it's for bigger businesses..."
