Room For Improvement

Users recommend improving Nutanix Central by enhancing VM migration, IAM documentation, API compatibility, and simplifying update processes.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control requires compatibility, support, interface improvements, better integration, security features, simpler setup, and pricing adjustments.
One of the biggest challenges we have with Nutanix currently is that our Rubrik backups do not work with the Nutanix API.
It would be nice to go in and say, 'This VM doesn't need to be in this data center, and we'd prefer to put it in this one,' and have the ability to initiate the migration.
Once it is set up, everything works smoothly, but the initial setup was difficult.

Helps us get ahead of potential problems, and their support has been phenomenal
I don't think there's much improvement needed in Nutanix Central. Maybe there are different tools I haven't discovered yet that may bring everyone on the same page. I am still in the process of researching them and providing feedback to Nutanix. For what we use it for, it runs efficiently. What I think is missing in Nutanix Central to make it the best product ever is compatibility with our backups. One of the biggest challenges we have with Nutanix currently is that our Rubrik backups do not work with the Nutanix API. That would be great to resolve, as it would reduce the time spent resolving the issue.

A robust product to deal with application performance enhancemen
It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. There are no issues once you install the application, and it works smoothly, meaning there are no issues related to onboarding the application according to a user's chosen profile. I have done the onboarding for more than 1,500 middleware products. There are different kinds of users of the product in our company, but the application itself has 1,500 middleware products. The solution is used on a daily basis, meaning it is used twenty-four hours and seven days a week. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in our company.
