We performed a comparison between Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"It worked flawlessly."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"Fewer features is not necessarily a negative as it leads to simpler operation and lower price."
"This solution is good for virtualization and meets the need for CPU and RAM requirements."
"We have been working with the solution for around a year and so far it has shown itself to be stable."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The solution is very easy to troubleshoot. It's one of the most valuable features. It also doesn't take long to deploy and normally it comes with a three-year warranty."
"ThinkSystem's storage performs well, and the price per gigabyte is good, especially on SSD solutions. It's also easy to use."
"Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series is simple to use"
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"It is very easy to clone systems using the solution."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"The product is easy to manage."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The solution is not cheap."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"Usually, when a part fails, we have to replace it and it takes a while. It would be better if the part could be available locally here in Kenya so we don't have to wait so long to repair the solution."
"The solution could be more scalable, although it suits our present needs."
"Its performance could be faster."
"There could be a snapshot feature in the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see support for Hyper-converged infrastructure."
"Improvements can be made to the product's performance."
"The difficult part comes when dealing with the host. You have to enable multi-pathing and other aspects that are needed for proper configuration. I don't know if there is room for a more hyper-conversion structure to work with, but this would be easier."
"It would be useful to have structured solutions replicated to other sites."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
"It would be ideal if it was more secure."
"The documentation could be improved."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"There could be better support for high power ESX and other cross platform applications."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
