We performed a comparison between NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP 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.
"The solution’s Snapshot copies and thin clones in terms of operational recovery are the best thing since sliced bread. Rollback is super easy. It's just simple, and it works. It's very efficient."
"The ease of use in terms of how the product works is valuable. We are able to work with it and deploy the storage that we need."
"The fast recovery time objective with the ability to bring the environment back to production in case something happens."
"This solution has made everything easier to do."
"The most valuable features are tiering to S3 and being able to turn it on and off, based on a schedule."
"For us, the value comes from the solution's flexibility, speed, and hopefully cost savings in the long term."
"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."
"One of the most valuable features is its similarity to the physical app, which makes it familiar. It's almost identical to a real NetApp, which means you can run all of the associated NetApp processes and services with it. Otherwise, we would definitely have to deploy some hardware on a site somewhere, which could be a challenge in terms of CapEx."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. With a few clicks, you can stand up your storage. It reduces the overall life cycle of deployment within the ecosystem."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"We are getting a warning alert about not being able to connect to Cloud Manager when we log into it. The support has provided links, but this particular issue is not fixed yet."
"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP needs to have customizable pricing options such as 10 TB increments. They seem to have only two options: 10 TB or 250 TB."
"I think the challenge now is more in terms of keeping an air gap. The notion that it is in the cloud, easy to break, etc. The challenge now is mostly about the air gap and how we can protect that in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in tier one support, especially with potential language barriers and communication challenges."
"NetApp CVO needs to have more exposure and mature further before it will have greater acceptance."
"I would like NetApp to come up with an easier setup for the solution."
"I would like to see something from NetApp about backups. I know that NetApp offers some backup for Office 365, but I would like to see something from NetApp for more backup solutions."
"I would like to see more information about Cloud Volumes ONTAP using Google Cloud Platform on NetApp's website."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"Another aspect that needs improvement is continuous protection against security threats such as ransomware and potential data leakage."
