"There's lots of flexibility in how we use the resources while also maintaining a small footprint."
"The high performance is very valuable, as well as the enterprise reliability features."
"We have been able to consolidate storage into Pavilion. Pavilions are our only SANs because it is a bring your own disk solution. When new drives come out, we are able to take out half of the drives in the system, put in new drives, move our VMs over to the new drives, take the other drives out, and populate those with new drives. Then, we are suddenly twice as dense as we were before. NVMe flash is only going to get denser and cheaper so we can make use of that every couple of years by just throwing newer disks into it at a fraction of the cost of a new SAN."
"Ability to cluster two storages together with HA availability."
"The price of this solution is good."
"The solution offers very good reliable systems and storage for our clients."
"It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"In our current configuration, we can only run the line controllers in high availability, active-standby mode, whereas we would like to see active-active implemented."
"The rail system that Pavilion uses to mount up into a standard Dell or APC cabinet extends further back than normal rails, and they cover up the zero PDU slot. So, I don't like the rail system that comes with the device. That is my biggest complaint."
"I would like to see the management layer improved."
"The licensing model needs to be revisited. It needs to be simplified."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Many people do not realize that Lenovo has a storage solution, so better marketing from the vendor is needed."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"The new features are not free. You need to pay for each feature."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
