"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data.""The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud.""The scalability is good.""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.""The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters.""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 solution can scale well."

Cons
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product.""The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it.""I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes.""The pricing can be better.""The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better.""Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution.""The reporting has room for improvement.""We've had some challenges with the implementation."

More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) Cons →

"The solution is still quite immature.""I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions.""All of the areas of Red Hat CloudForms could improve. It doesn't do half of the things that it says it can do out of the box. It takes configuration to make any of it work, which is not uncommon for solutions similar to this. However, it is frustrating.""It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs.""The solution's provisioning engine needs to be improved.""Our clients had challenges or issues with the updates. Its updates should be better managed. They should provide quicker and more stable updates. Its stability can also be better. We initially faced ease-of-use and compatibility issues while integrating it. We had a lot of compatibility issues with other products. Our clients are concerned about whether it is under IBM or it is still Red Hat. Clients are not very clear about the support, and they're not really happy with it. Currently, they're getting support from Red Hat, but going forward, they're not really clear about what would be the life cycle of the product, which is a concern for them.""The problem is that the platform requires it to be maintained and updated. Also, a few cases are still pending with the Red Hat support team since they are not closed yet.""Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware."

  • More Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) Pricing and Cost Advice →
