We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) and Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"In the beginning, I saw the product's user manual, but when installing and managing it in a practical way, I could see that it is very friendly and reliable at the interface level, at the same time very specific, it shows characteristics of the resources never observed at least by me on similar platforms"
"The capacity planning, forecasting, and Runways are worth their weight in gold. NCM has saved us time in IT, and that's money."
"The most valuable features are the compliance features and the chargebacks."
"The solution has automated reports and workflows. You can configure it to automatically send out reports to the business units responsible for managing cloud costs, so you don't need to log into the tool to get information. Cost Governance's user interface and dashboards are beautiful. The customers love it because it's easy to use. They can run it and get a report an hour later to immediately see the savings."
"The solution is very stable...Customer support is very good."
"The 1-Click Centralized Upgrades are really nice. When you go in and want to upgrade your Cluster, you just click a button and everything will upgrade. You don't have to go to each individual server to do the upgrades."
"The ability to do Layer 2 stretching across data centers is valuable. The migration of VMs from one location to the other is also valuable."
"It's easy to transfer data and synch up the change and manage/monitor from a single point. Backup is much easier too."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"The pricing can be better."
"Perhaps the only point I see as an improvement would be the support of multiple languages in the environment. One of the few things within which I see an improvement point could be the inclusion of multilanguage in the environment."
"I'd like them to offer a more flexible licensing model."
"One thing that comes directly to mind is how they manage version control. I would love to see Calm create a built-in source control feature, one that we could tie into a repository and it would self-manage changes in versions. All the version control is built within Calm right now. I would love to see that integrated with an external repository and make it easy to tie it into GitHub or Git repositories."
"The integration with Splunk is a little lacking, and this is something that we've worked on with Nutanix quite extensively in the last year or two. It didn't really have a good integration. They built some dashboards, where they were trying to kind of recreate Prism. Prism is its own utility; it works well for what it does. But it doesn't provide us quite the detail that we are looking for or the historical data that we were after. So we had to build our own custom apps for Splunk."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"In this solution, it is difficult to organize the VM folders and subfolders."
"The support provided after office hours could use some improvement."
"I consider it a very complete platform, for now, I believe it is very good. It could be advanced and more updated over time. I would like to see updates like the creation of basic applications for monitoring through tables, telephones, external updates, sending manuals, or informational brochures by mail to go hand in hand with the platform and its updates."
