Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and others in Public Cloud Storage Services."The stability is the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The ELT versus ETL extract, transform and load versus extract, load, and then transform, the ELT method is what really sells SoftLayer."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"For us, the versioning was an issue."
"The interface is hard to use for us. It should be simplified."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
