We performed a comparison between IBM Turbonomic and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."On-premises, one advantage I find particularly appealing is the ability to create policies for automatic CPU and memory scaling based on demand."
"The automation and orchestration components are definitely the best part, as you can tell it what it can do and when, and just let it be."
"I like the analytics that help us optimize compatibility. Whereas Azure Advisor tells us what we have to do, Turbonomic has automation which actually does those things. That means we don't have to be present to get them done and simplifies our IT engineers' jobs."
"We've saved hundreds of hours. Most of the time those hours would have to be after hours as well, which are more valuable to me as that's my personal time."
"With over 2500 ESX VMs, including 1500+ XenDesktop VDI desktops, hosted over two datacentres and 80+ vSphere hosts, firefighting has become something of the past."
"The biggest value I'm getting out of VMTurbo right now is the complete hands-off management of equalizing the usage in my data center."
"Rightsizing is valuable. Its recommendations are pretty good."
"It became obvious to us that there was a lot more being offered in the product that we could leverage to ensure our VMware environment was running efficiently."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The scalability is good."
"Additional interfaces would be helpful."
"I would like Turbonomic to add more services, especially in the cloud area. I have already told them this. They can add Azure NetApp Files. They can add Azure Blob storage. They have already added Azure App service, but they can do more."
"I do not like Turbonomic's new licensing model. The previous model was pretty straightforward, whereas the new model incorporates what most of the vendors are doing now with cores and utilization. Our pricing under the new model will go up quite a bit. Before, it was pretty straightforward, easy to understand, and reasonable."
"There is an opportunity for improvement with some of Turbonomic's permissions internally for role-based access control. We would like the ability to come up with some customized permissions or scope permissions a bit differently than the product provides."
"Since the introduction of a HTML 5 based interface, our main - but minor - criticism of a less than intuitive operation managers' GUI would be the area of improvement."
"The old interface was not the clearest UI in some areas, and could be quite intimidating when first using the tool."
"It can be more agnostic in terms of the solutions that it provides. It can include some other cost-saving methods for the public cloud and SaaS applications as well."
"The GUI and policy creation have room for improvement. There should be a better view of some of the numbers that are provided and easier to access. And policy creation should have it easier to identify groups."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"The pricing can be better."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
