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."
"I like being able to expand my workload with Nutanix Cloud Manager at the best cost."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager's runway features are a big help in predicting strategy for optimization."
"The solution has automated reports and workflows. You can configure it to automatically send out reports to the business units responsible for managing cloud costs, so you don't need to log into the tool to get information. Cost Governance's user interface and dashboards are beautiful. The customers love it because it's easy to use. They can run it and get a report an hour later to immediately see the savings."
"The executive dashboard is valuable and provides a complete sense of the whole infrastructure."
"Moreover, the deployment process was so easy and smooth that post rack and stack and management IP configuration, it just took less than 2 days to configure the cluster of 40 nodes, upgrade the firmware, create file service and VM space and integrate with our infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the compliance features and the chargebacks."
"The self-service capabilities allow us to orchestrate our deployments without writing code, and they also use artificial intelligence to improve our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a very easy and adaptive look and feel, compared with some other cloud solutions."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"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 most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"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 product provides excellent daily reports."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"In Brazil, Nutanix Cloud Manager is not cheap."
"I'd like them to offer a more flexible licensing model."
"Currently, users can only attach a new ISO to their VMs for a partial reinstall, but a full reinstall feature is unfortunately unavailable."
"Few systems are not business-critical, but they run 24/7."
"The integration with Splunk is a little lacking, and this is something that we've worked on with Nutanix quite extensively in the last year or two. It didn't really have a good integration. They built some dashboards, where they were trying to kind of recreate Prism. Prism is its own utility; it works well for what it does. But it doesn't provide us quite the detail that we are looking for or the historical data that we were after. So we had to build our own custom apps for Splunk."
"The solution's virtualization could be even better."
"I would like to see a P2V feature like Move or Xtract. The interface for migrating from one VM infrastructure to another is one of the best but going from a physical machine to a Nutanix VM is a bit too challenging."
"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."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
"I would like it if they could provide their customers with more qualified support."
"The solution's private cloud is much too expensive."
"I would like to have an easy way of modifying the reference data that is used for the purposes of estimating the total billing."
"It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
"If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
