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 features that I have found the most useful are the reliability of the system and the simple way to upgrade."
"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."
"The most valuable features I have found are the report and remote desktop features."
"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."
"The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great."
"Prism is an impeccable solution."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."
"Since it includes everything in AI and machine learning, it surfaces issues, recommends exact solutions, often with a single click, and reduces costs too, optimizing resource usage, moving or resizing VMs to reduce over-provisioning, delaying or avoiding unnecessary hardware purchases through smarter capacity planning."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."
"The pricing could be improved."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."
"I would like more insights about virtual machines. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about resource allocation and usage, so we can distribute resources and reassign them more efficiently."
"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some services that need to be purchased in addition to the license."
"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."
"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
"...we use it for small and medium-sized businesses. For those companies, Nutanix is too expensive, it's for bigger businesses..."
"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."
"Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."
"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."
"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."
"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
