Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."I also like the fact that the solution manages itself. It has one interface where you can basically see all your servers. So, you can manage your servers and see whether you are falling short on space or disc usage. Also, in case your RAM is only using four Gigabytes of memory instead of eight, you can extend out the over-provisioned mail and save your cluster for four Giga of RAM."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) is the one-click upgrade and the analytics it can provide for hyper-converged infrastructure."
"It's easily expandable storage-wise and compute-wise."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the disaster recovery portion, which they call Xi Leap. It's included in the licensing. Before, we were on a solution that charged extra for DR software. And with Prism Pro, not only can we manage all of our other infrastructure in addition to our DR, in the same console, but we can set up recovery points. We can also set up scripts to run, so it gives us everything we need to have a solid DR plan in place."
"We haven't faced any problems because Nutanix provides an outside team. We haven't had any issues requiring L3 support, and the L1 and L2 engineers are on-site."
"I like the analytics and the interface. Nutanix is easy to deploy and manage."
"The unified platform is also very user-friendly and clickable, similar to the Windows environment, making it easier for users to navigate and maintain."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager Intelligent Operations has multi-cloud capability, allowing users to switch between cloud providers or vendors without incurring egress or movement fees."
"The tool helps us to monitor the services provided to customers as a cloud provider. The product is a monitoring solution that helps customers pay for their utilization of services."
"The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"The support provided after office hours could use some improvement."
"There have been bugs. We've seen what looked like some storage inefficiencies in reports and, when we went in to look, we found they were false alarms. That was something they corrected on the fly."
"When we tried to migrate an application from the old cluster, we couldn't run it on Nutanix’s native hypervisor."
"For Nutanix, there are options to go with different types of hardware vendors for using the AOS operating system. We can deploy it on Dell, Lenovo, or IBM servers. If Nutanix had its own server, it would be good."
"In the next release, I would like to see more cloud providers like Micro BH or local providers."
"The machine learning can be improved. There are a lot of false positives at times. For example, I'm actually looking at some alerts right now, that some service was restarted multiple times. It is like the same alert, spammed over and over again. But really, it turns out that that event didn't happen."
"I still remember it was a struggle when we configured the initial network setup, that part was a little bit confusing about how exactly it works, we have two different Nutanix technicians who were on-site to help on the configuration. But both of them could not get right the first time, and we had to reset and start over again on both systems."
"We have a lot of projects so we cannot always dive deep into the material that Nutanix offers. We would like to but we have other priorities. It was a busy year. We have an external company that does things for us so we can make the process go faster. We know what we need and what we would like to achieve. I'm still on the learning curve."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
"The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
