Integrated with the personal files and knowledge management processes but is expensive
The customer is a company in Thailand. They use Nutanix Cloud Clusters for file sharing and integrate with personal file share and knowledge management. Our customer attaches a file service with a login and connects with WiFi for cloud content, such as second documents or email access files…

Excellent support but it is a costly solution
The solution is working okay. But we are facing issues with the network because in our country, Yemen, we have some trouble. The country is very crazy because of the war we have. So, we are facing issues with the network. Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud. We went with the Oracle solution for Interconnect because they are the preferred solution for that. But it is very unstable and the customer refuses to deal with it. They cannot do anything because Oracle recommends a stable network but we do not have that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is the portability."
"Its performance and speed are valuable. Its performance has helped me reduce costs."
"The feature I probably appreciate the most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability—how quickly I can deploy more nodes on a cluster and remove nodes."
"Our previous solution was inconsistent and took a long time to recover. NC2 consistently delivers full disaster recovery in a few hours. That was a huge selling point. We need to know that our business can be up and running in hours, not days. We didn't have a real disaster recovery plan before NC2. That's a goal we've been trying to achieve, and Nutanix gives us what we need to make that a reality"
"There is ease of use. It is very important for our customers to have one centralized management console. Scalability is also very important for our customers."
"We're not limited based on the hardware that we have."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) a ten."
"Nutanix benefits my company as it reduces administration work, allowing me to spend more time away from hardware issues."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"Having compatible feature sets between Azure and AWS would go a long way to improving the overall NC2 experience."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"Improvement is obviously needed in pricing; I cannot pinpoint where else I would suggest improvements."
"It should not be so expensive. Its price is high, but at the same time, it does give the results it offers."
"Most of the customers complain about the network communicating with the Cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
"I'm not familiar with the contracts, but I thought the process was pretty seamless. Licensing for the Nutanix part was the same as licensing something on-prem, and since it runs on bare metal EC2, there was no new process we had to go through—it fits into our existing procurement processes nicely. I appreciate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)'s license portability."
"I feel that the prices could be improved, but the truth is that I am very happy. The license price keeps increasing, but I am confident that it is much more reasonable than other brands."
"The transition from the perpetual license to what they have now is, from a business perspective, understandable, but from an operational and cost perspective, for me, it is really expensive. However, our partners at Nutanix did work with us recently and reduced a huge licensing cost for us."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
