Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility

Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."

"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."

"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."

"With the cloning technology in Nutanix Database Service, the time reduces to less than an hour, which is very useful."

"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."

"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."

"There are a lot of options for working with the database."

"The Time Machine feature in Nutanix Database Service has definitely reduced turnaround time for when we need clones or other environments spun up off of our existing environment, such as for corruption."

"What I appreciate the most about Nutanix Database Service is the standardization and ease of deployment. It makes it easier for the database administrators to deploy without either the database administrator or the business needing all their staff and waiting a long period of time to have their request fulfilled."

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."

"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."

"Nutanix Database Service can be improved by enhancing logging; when we're trying to look for errors, one of the hiccups we always run into is that it's very hard to pinpoint and look through the logs."

"Nutanix Database Service could be improved by making it just a little bit less complex regarding the interface. That said, it's definitely in the right direction."

"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."

"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."

"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."

"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."

"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."

"Pricing wasn't a surprise. It was what we were expecting it to be."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"I wasn't involved much with the pricing and setup costs and licenses. The pricing was as expected."

"The pricing is competitive."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
