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.

Efficiently manage virtual machines with robust disaster recovery

Nutanix Prism is mainly used for our daily operations, similar to VMware. Despite the lack of extraordinary features, it efficiently manages our daily operations now that we are managing our VMs. One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."

"We can add VLAN and update it."

"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."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"Deploys faster new virtual services."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."

More HPE OneView pros

"Because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using."

"It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment."

"The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point."

"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."

"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."

"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 most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."

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

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

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

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."

More HPE OneView cons

"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."

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

"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."

"The dashboard visibility could be improved."

"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."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

"In our environment we are using it alongside VMware, so some integration with that would be nice. VMware has SHD (Skyline Health Diagnostics) which diagnoses health and gives suggestions. A plug-in for taking information out of it would be helpful."

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."

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

"I am happy with the price."

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

"HPE could lower the price."

"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."

"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."

"Use it. It is free."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

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

"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."

"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 is priced better than some of the competing solutions."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."

"The pricing is one factor that could be better. The cluster licensing and how it works is another."

"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."

"Nutanix Prism is quite an expensive solution compared to VMware."
