We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The installation of StarWind Virtual SAN was pretty easy, and the configuration was done in no time."
"I've had to open a few support cases over the years due to administrator errors, and the support received was top-notch."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"The software is easy to setup and manage, and the support is excellent."
"The management interface on the software is very simple. It is insanely simple compared to most SANs. The interface is also powerful when used to complete tasks that an IT administrator needs to complete."
"You can turn your local disk storage into high-availability iSCSI storage."
"The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"The product is easy to manage."
"Hyper-convergence is the most valuable feature for me as it allows me to scale the hardware according to project requirements."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"The scalability is great."
"The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead."
"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"Flexibility and frequency of restore points: allow me to economically customize the range of time for data restoration, according to the varying sensitivities of each type of data."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"This is a great product."
"It would be nice to add the ability to use raw partitions instead of file containers."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"The most disappointing side of the application is the free edition. There used to be GUI attached. That has recently changed to only CLI management of the application."
"The setup and documentation for the installation with the free version could definitely be improved."
"The gathering of monthly consumption and performance reports for future dissemination to concerned parties is very important. Unfortunately, StarWinds vSAN doesn't offer this functionality."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"It was not a great fit for really large databases that required high-end or lots of compute. They might already have addressed this concern around very high-end databases that require high-end compute. In the past, it wasn't a great fit for them."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"They need to improve the look and feel of the interface. The functionality is fine, but the appearance could be better."
"In terms of the IT different categories, I would like for the governing sections to be able to use it in the IT department. If they can have something like a one view management portal or software similar to VMware that would be an added value."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
