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…
Rajnikant Verma - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements
SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'm not an AWS expert at all, but I can totally manage my Nutanix clusters, the same as I do on-prem. The fact that I can quickly and easily stand up servers or nodes instantly has been an amazing help."
"We're not limited based on the hardware that we have."
"What I admire most about Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is its scalability; that option that everybody seems to eventually go to is cloud, and we're ready for that when we decide. This feature of scalability has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) benefits my company as it reduces administration work, allowing me to spend more time away from hardware issues."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick configuration and installation."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) definitely reduced our total cost of ownership."
"The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable."
"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."
"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."
"The BTP module is important for digital transformations."
"The most valuable feature is virtual modeling, which is beneficial because you don't really save the data multiple times the way we did in the past."
"We have a wide range of use cases for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. These include production planning, materials management, sales management, treasury, finance, appliance maintenance, real estate, and warehouse management."
"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
 

Cons

"We cannot use Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) for data center extension or scaling workloads on demand right now based on the way that we have our network configured, but in the future, the plan is to build a greenfield site and re-engineer some of those features."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"Networking is one of the biggest improvements. They have a great stock already, but some use cases, particularly around incrementally spinning up workloads, haven't been considered closely enough."
"The offering on GCP is a feature we have been waiting for to compare costs."
"I believe that networking is one of the biggest improvements. They have a great stock already, but some use cases, particularly around incrementally spinning up workloads, haven't been considered closely enough. As we're putting workloads on there by adding a few VMs at a time, there are networking aspects that need to be considered more closely. It's great once everything's there, but incrementally getting things there is what's difficult."
"Having compatible feature sets between Azure and AWS would go a long way to improving the overall NC2 experience."
"Improvement is obviously needed in pricing; I cannot pinpoint where else I would suggest improvements."
"The interface organization can be better. If we can, for example, organize virtual machines by groups, folders, and sub-folders, it will be easier to administer and monitor."
"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."
"The licensing model for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud has changed, and it is not entirely clear for final customers. Instead of named users, they now have to calculate FUEs."
"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."
"Enterprise Cloud's reporting could be more automated to improve content accountability, especially regarding BI reports."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."
"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."
"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"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 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 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."
"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 of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."
"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."
"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"It's very, very expensive."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
