Enables us to grow at the speed of business and be ready for whatever is coming
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 scalability feature has improved my company because we can grow at the speed of business, and that's very important. We're not limited by the hardware that we have. We allow ourselves room for growth, and we can literally grow from today to tomorrow to ensure that we're handling our growth. The scalability is critical for us, especially in the banking industry, where we just get bigger every year.

Modern API design has transformed documentation workflows and supports interactive testing
Scalr helps with API testing and client functionality, which includes a built-in Try It tool similar to Postman, allowing developers to test endpoints, manage environment variables, and see request history. The faster response is due to the CI/CD workflow integrating with GitHub Actions and another tool to automatically update and version documentation as the codebase evolves. Other features include data formatting, where I can convert strings to uppercase, trim white spaces, or concatenate first and last names into a full name field. In scientific contexts, a scalar is a physical quantity described only by magnitude with no direction. In environmental aspects, monitoring and measuring temperature, pressure, or humidity, resource tracking, and calculating mass, volume, density, or time duration reflect the best impact on my organization. One specific outcome I have noticed is scholarly publishing. Scalr is also an open-source platform for born-digital, media-rich publishing, allowing scholars to create interactive online books that integrate high-resolution media with sophisticated archival structures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) is a great product and it's a good option for companies that want to be both in the cloud and have a physical data center."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
"The solution can scale well."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) a ten."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) definitely reduced our total cost of ownership."
"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) benefits my company as it reduces administration work, allowing me to spend more time away from hardware issues."
"The solution is reliable and very stable, there are no bugs or glitches, it just works, and there are no crashes or freezing."
"I was able to deal with requests without needing every server on; I could turn them off."
"After all the years of helping enterprises implement API strategies at SmartBear, I can confidently say Scalr is what the industry has been waiting for."
 

Cons

"Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) could be improved with some more tools that could help synchronize on-prem and cloud stuff better."
"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."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"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."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"Regarding licensing, if I buy a licensing key, it is beneficial, but if I have a lesser standing, it is not as good."
"We did use AWS autoscaling but Rackspace left something to be desired."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"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."
"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 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 price is high."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
