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."

More Lenovo XClarity Administrator Pros →

"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations.""Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great.""It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment.""Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better.""For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution.""There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us.""The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery.""Before implementing Prism, we had an issue with too many alerts for similar issues, so it was difficult to maintain them. The alerts kept coming, and we had a hard time keeping track of everything. We had multiple alerts about CPU, RAM, and storage. Prism helps us identify and eliminate false alerts because most of them were redundant."

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."

More Lenovo XClarity Administrator Cons →

"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.""The cost is a negative aspect.""The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated.""We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems.""Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases.""There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product.""I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly.""Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform."

  • "The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
  • "We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."
