Room For Improvement

Nutanix Cloud Clusters needs better pricing, interfaces, scalability, and enhanced tools for setup, integration, and cross-platform compatibility.
Oracle Cloud users want improved support, documentation, integration, usability, pricing, availability, automation, AI, globalization, security, and performance.
The one thing that stands out is the costing, especially if you check the NCM module, where you see the cost of the VM, which is defined by the customer rather than how the calculations work if that VM is a reserved instance.
Venu Karate
Global Infrastructure& Cloud Operations at a wholesaler/distributor with 10,001+ employees
