Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming
What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"The license portability is good enough."
"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."
"Customer service and technical support are definitely shining stars for Nutanix."
"The features of Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) that I appreciate most are the scalability; being able to spin up or reduce the cluster size based on the needs that we have has been helpful for us."
"Nutanix has the best customer service."
"We're not limited based on the hardware that we have."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) a ten."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) definitely reduced our total cost of ownership."
 

Cons

"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"The pricing can be better."
"My impression of Nutanix's license portability is that I wish it had an easier transition from one license to license. I know in the last three to four years, the model has changed three times, making it harder for me to understand the transition from one license model to the next and what that means for me."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) could be improved as it currently looks and feels slightly different than on-prem. Engineering could aim for a look and feel closer to on-prem, making it easier for newer users."
"In the current version, we've noticed many false positives when we check the alerts in the morning. For example, it told us that services stopped working, but there was nothing wrong when we checked it out. We've already raised the issue with support. They told us it's a bug in the version we use. We're about to upgrade to the recommended version, so it should be fine."
"The offering on GCP is a feature we have been waiting for to compare costs."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"The snapshots have room for improvement."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."
"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
"The transition from the perpetual license to what they have now is, from a business perspective, understandable, but from an operational and cost perspective, for me, it is really expensive. However, our partners at Nutanix did work with us recently and reduced a huge licensing cost for us."
"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
"The price is high."
"I'm not familiar with the contracts, but I thought the process was pretty seamless. Licensing for the Nutanix part was the same as licensing something on-prem, and since it runs on bare metal EC2, there was no new process we had to go through—it fits into our existing procurement processes nicely. I appreciate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)'s license portability."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
