Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
Nutanix Cloud Clusters users experience 15%-50% cost savings through reduced administration, hardware needs, and increased efficiency.
Sentiment score
7.0
Users praise Snyk for efficient vulnerability identification, enhancing security, saving developer time, and improving early-stage development cost-efficiency.
In time, it has proven beneficial because we no longer have to have hands-on management of a server environment; really, one engineer does it.
In comparison, five years ago, we purchased 30 nodes on-prem, and now we are only using six nodes in Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).
I would say our total cost of ownership has been reduced by approximately 30% to 50%.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.5
Nutanix support is praised for expertise and proactivity, though some suggest improvement in response speed for complex issues.
Sentiment score

Snyk's support is responsive and effective, praised for direct engineer access, engagement, and comprehensive assistance with minor improvement areas.
The people I get are intelligent and know how to fix the issue the first time I call them, so it's been great.
The customer service and technical support have been very helpful; they jump on calls with us and stay engaged until any issues are resolved.
They're good and help us whenever we need them.
Our long-standing association has ensured smooth communication, resulting in favorable support experiences and satisfactory issue resolution.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Nutanix Cloud Clusters offers robust scalability, allowing efficient resource expansion for diverse company sizes and cloud deployments.
Sentiment score
7.5
Snyk is scalable, integrates with cloud services, scans quickly, and is preferred over on-prem for large deployments.
During builds, it was very scalable, and adding or removing nodes was far quicker than if we were to do that on-prem in our own data center.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales very effectively with the growing needs of my company, and it does so very fast and quickly.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) scales amazingly with the growing needs of our company.

Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) offers reliable performance with 99.99% uptime, swiftly addressing issues and ensuring user confidence.

Room For Improvement

Nutanix Cloud Clusters need better pricing, intuitive interface, scalability, seamless integration, and enhanced security and support services.
Snyk users seek reduced false positives, improved integration, more languages, enhanced AI, better UI, and faster API responses.
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.
My suggestion would be getting up to speed on ransomware and evolving, as attackers are always one step ahead of what's out there.
Some features that people say Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) lacks could be simplified to make it easier, such as a single pane of glass, and getting more into Google Cloud would be very helpful for our team as we're working on GCP interfaces.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise buyers highlight Nutanix's high pricing, but appreciate license portability and support, mitigating cost concerns through strategic alliances.
Snyk offers scalable, user-based pricing seen as expensive but valuable, with negotiable packages for enterprise cloud deployments.
Our partners at Nutanix did work with us recently and reduced a huge licensing cost for us.
For us, the pricing and costs have been fair.
When working with my sales representatives, everything is included, they've been very helpful, and it's been within our price range for the most part.
Snyk is recognized as the cheapest option we have evaluated.
 

Valuable Features

Nutanix Cloud Clusters enhance scalability, cost-efficiency, and productivity with seamless management, automation, and robust hybrid environment capabilities.
Snyk offers comprehensive security with seamless integration, automation, and developer-friendly tools, enhancing risk management and usability.
We're not limited based on 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.
We used to have a light-for-light kind of build-out in another data center in a different location. Now, we can pare that down to just a couple of nodes and know that we can burst it out when we need to.
Nutanix's license portability is a very valuable tool for us because we were building our own data center, so we've bought on-prem licenses and then utilize that for Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).
Our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
Snyk helps detect vulnerabilities before code moves to production, allowing for integration with DevOps and providing a shift-left advantage by identifying and fixing bugs before deployment.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
