We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure File Storage and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have not explored the desktop performance analysis of the file storage, but the user interface, API, and the response that we receive over the file storage are very good. We have a lot of customers that connect to the client-side, click the images, and upload them. The beauty of the solution is that we can mount the file storage into a critical server as well as an external drive. The speed that we receive with the images is pretty good."
"The initial setup is straightforward and takes approximately twenty minutes."
"It is a very scalable solution. I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten."
"The functionality is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure File Storage is the cloud file storage capability."
"It is very easy to use SSTP and some traditional code to move the data into a database because we can easily use the permissions and we don't have any integration or conversion issues."
"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"The most valuable feature is the easy interface."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"I have used the file storage explorer in multiple systems, and it seems a bit cumbersome and not very efficient, particularly with authentication. It can be tricky to set it up."
"The pricing and technical support could be better."
"The way retention policies are applied could be more optimized."
"It would be helpful if we could remove data that we don't frequently access to reduce the cost of the storage."
"In our use cases, we see the weakness in mobile internet connectivity."
"The product must provide better security functions."
"It would be good if they added some features that make the solution easier to access for everyone."
"Considering the enterprise licensing required for the solution, the cost of the solution is an area where the product needs improvement."
"Unified Storage failed to fulfill our object storage requirements."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"The interface could be improved."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."
