Featured Reviews

Kyle Naidoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Nutanix gave us three and a half hours back
Recently, I have had quite a few issues with Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT). When you do a full update from LCM, your NGT doesn't automatically install on your VMs. You need to go back to Prism Central and select a list of VMs, then install NGT. You need to go to each of those VMs, then restart them to get the NGT installed. Also, there are some VMs that we have on our system that we used to run on an old environment, which was Hyper-V. Previously, we had VMware, so some of our VMs are Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. However, the NGT no longer allows for installations on those. We constantly get packet drops. We are actually looking at upgrading them in the future. While Windows 7 is not supported anymore from a Microsoft perspective, Nutanix could allow NGT to still be installed since people still use Windows 7. I have five VMs currently running on Windows 7. This is not a major issue. The VMs still work, but you get an alert in the mornings, saying, "Hey, NGT is not installed." When we go there, we try to install NGT, but it won't allow us since Windows 7 is not allowed anymore.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification
One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The unified platform is also very user-friendly and clickable, similar to the Windows environment, making it easier for users to navigate and maintain."
"Cloud Manager's data protection policies are nice. Sometimes our customers provision their own workloads. Regardless of whether they provision their workloads, we need to know that the data protection policies automatically protect their VMs locally and/or to another cluster. We don't need to have a conversation about data protection. It's already there."
"We have a local partner and all the support from the vendor. It has been a remarkable experience. The product is very easy to use, and the roadmap has been executed transparently. The administration has been quite fast."
"The product has helped my company to have a single point of view for managing the infrastructure, our environment, and virtualization."
"Its resilience and performance are excellent."
"The solution is very stable...Customer support is very good."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Manager is the flexibility we're finding in expanding our technology and our support."
"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."
"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."
"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."
"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."
"Data discovery is a fantastic product."
"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."
"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."
"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."
 

Cons

"One suggestion is for the Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) Prism Pro element to have a built-in support feature that allows you to simply click a button to get support from Nutanix whenever a new alert comes in, rather than needing to call support to ask about the new alert you received."
"NCM is a mature technology product, but it is more costly than some of the other solutions available, which leaves room for improvement."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"We are still learning about cloud usage and the integrations we are targeting right now at the event. I believe there is room for improvement, especially with the prices, which are not very friendly."
"The solution should introduce more automation features."
"The licensing procedures are not smooth and easy."
"The design could be more user-friendly. There is always room for improvement when it comes to a site being more user-friendly."
"We have had our fair share of issues while upgrading early on, but the process now is working flawlessly."
"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."
"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."
"Technical support needs enhancement. It would be helpful to have better documentation and more accessible support, especially when raising support tickets."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."
"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."
"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"We have the ultimate license, so I don't know what it would cost individually."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's pricing is fair at the moment."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager is an expensive solution."
"Its price is correct."
"Don't unlicense your Prism licensing. Pro is the strict minimum for real infrastructure. Go with at least Pro and not with the starter. Ultimate was the best choice for me."
"Nutanix costs more than Hyper-V, but the price is reasonable for the features we're getting. We have better support, analytics, reporting, and other capabilities that we didn't have before. That is more than enough to justify the cost. The hardware we purchased from Nutanix was priced fairly. The primary costs are software and support. It's a subscription-based service, which can be bad or good, depending on how you look at that. For me, it makes perfect sense. We get regular updates and can get support when we need it."
"It is an expensive solution, but one has to make the trade-off between what you want to achieve and what you are willing to pay."
