Information Technology System Administrator at Arabi Company W.L.L. Kuwait
Report and remote desktop features come in handy; price could be lower
When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers. I'd also like to improve the pricing as some of the features are quite expensive.

Provides comprehensive management with AI-driven insights and predictive analytics for seamless IT operations
The major improvement recommended for Nutanix Prism is more multi-cloud cost optimization. It shows performance and usage but is limited in detailed cross-cloud cost analysis. Improvement is needed for deeper FinOps-style ML insights that compare costs between on-premise, AWS, Azure, etc. Enhancements for the current mobile version of Prism are necessary as its functions are limited. Full mobile native control with real-time alerts and AI suggestions are required for one-click actions. Better integration with third-party tools and predictive maintenance for hardware is needed; currently, the focus is on VM and storage, not hardware life cycle. Predictions for node-level hardware failures or SSD wear-out, fan sensor alerts in advance are essential improvements, as is AI-based security threat detection focusing on unusual login patterns such as ransomware behavior or privilege escalations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features I have found are the report and remote desktop features."
"The features that I have found the most useful are the reliability of the system and the simple way to upgrade. They're also moving to a more comfortable user interface."
"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."
"I think the technical support of Nutanix is one of the best supports I have used."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."
"Prism is an impeccable solution."
"Overall, this product is a good choice. You get a lot of features at a lower price."
"Their technical support is perfect. They provide very fast answers to every problem."
"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."
"Simplicity, automation, and efficiency are some good areas associated with the tool."
 

Cons

"They can move to something even more simple for daily user management. The way to upgrade the framework is not so simple at the moment. They can make it better in the future. These changes would require a complete redesign of the infrastructure and rethinking of the interface."
"When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers."
"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."
"One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk."
"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."
"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive. It's easy, but it is very slow at the beginning."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."
"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some services that need to be purchased in addition to the license."
"The pricing is comparable to other software initiatives."
"Nutanix have bundles for pricing. On a single bundle, we get everything including vSAN or VMware and there are no additional costs. It is just a single license that is needed."
"Nutanix is a little pricier, but the features it has are worth it."
"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."
"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."
"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."
"This product is cheaper than using VMware."
"The license we bought for Nutanix Prism is perpetual, so once you have it, you can keep on using it. It's a three-year license that's paid one time. The license we have covers the three-node cluster."
