We performed a comparison between NetApp NVMe AFF A800 and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"We find the product to be very flexible."
"You can easily scale up, and scale-out."
"The storage features are valuable."
"Over the eight years, we've been using NetApp with ONTAP, we've never lost a bit of data, and we've only experienced a few minutes of downtime in that entire time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a product that is fast and provides a fast I/O."
"The most valuable features are stability and performance."
"The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally."
"Low latency is the most valuable feature."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"One of the most valuable features that can be found, is the inclusion of a hypervisor for free."
"The most valuable feature is the integration of all parts in Prism Element, the browser-based management tool."
"The most valuable feature is the one-click to update the firmware and software."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, integrates with other hardware configurations, and is simple to manage."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"Everything is core centralized on the UI."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve some aspects. There are certain features that are good and there are some features that I see some issues with at the technical level. Those issues are related to replication. They need to resolve those issues, which I have already highlighted to the Pure team. Additionally, there are some issues in the active cluster that could improve."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less."
"The product's performance has some shortcomings, making it an area that could be a little better."
"Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve"
"Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best."
"The support can take a few days to have a response. However, the response that we do receive is very informative."
"Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."
"The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach."
"Pricing and varieties of options could be better."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
"The One-Click Upgrade process could/should offer the ability to integrate with 3rd party drivers. For example, we use NVIDIA Grid graphics cards. It would be amazing if, during the One-Click Upgrade process, we could "slipstream" additional VIB drivers for ESXi into the upgrade process."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"I would enjoy an advanced mode where experienced users can leverage their knowledge to do advanced things currently only allowed using the command line tools on the CVM."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
