We performed a comparison between Kaminario K2 [EOL] and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"Support has been helpful."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"The all-flash disc is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Inline compression"
"The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."
"The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus."
"Latency is definitely the big key for us."
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"The speed and, for us in particular in what we're doing, the data de-duplication."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"Acropolis AOS is scalable to nodes and the cloud."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"The scalability is great."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Ability to create multiple VMs."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it."
"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."
"Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's LTS version needs to be more reliable."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"There is a lot of functionality in Prism Central, but sometimes you want to see those features in Prism Element."
"Our client had some old Citrix Xen servers for which there is no direct migration. Nutanix has a move utility for Microsoft Hyper-V clusters or VMware clusters. You can easily migrate them using the move utility, but the Xen clusters cannot be migrated in a simple way. That is the only thing that is lacking, but nowadays, no one uses the Citrix Xen server for their clusters. Everything else is already there. Nutanix keeps on upgrading its hardware's or hypervisor's capability to be able to support new technologies."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
"As far as what could be improved, they have some built-in backup functions already, but any built-in isolation features like vision security features and free LAN features become a security concern."
"The GUI for this solution needs improvement."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
