We performed a comparison between IBM Turbonomic and Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a good holistic platform that is easy to use. It works pretty well."
"The most important feature to us is an objective measurement of VM headroom per cluster. In addition, the ability to check for the right-sizing of VMs."
"The system automatically sizes and moves resources based on the needs of the applications."
"With Turbonomic, we were able to reduce our ESX cluster size and save money on our maintenance and license renewals. It saved us around $75,000 per year but it's a one-time reduction in VMware licensing. We don't renew the support. The ongoing savings is probably $50,000 to $75,000 a year, but there was a one-time of $200,000 plus."
"I like Turbonomic's built-in reporting. It provides a ton of information out of the box, so I don't have to build panels for the monthly summaries and other reports I need to present to management. We get better performance and bottleneck reporting from this than we do from our older EMC software."
"We've saved hundreds of hours. Most of the time those hours would have to be after hours as well, which are more valuable to me as that's my personal time."
"My favorite part of the solution is the automation scheduling. Being able to choose when actions happen, and how they happen..."
"The primary features we have focused on are reporting and optimization."
"The solution can scale well."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"After running this solution in production for a year, we may want a more granular approach to how we utilize the product because we are planning to use some of its metrics to feed into our financial system."
"The GUI and policy creation have room for improvement. There should be a better view of some of the numbers that are provided and easier to access. And policy creation should have it easier to identify groups."
"It can be more agnostic in terms of the solutions that it provides. It can include some other cost-saving methods for the public cloud and SaaS applications as well."
"They could add a few more reports. They could also be a bit more granular. While they have reports, sometimes it is hard to figure out what you are looking for just by looking at the date."
"It would be nice for them to have a way to do something with physical machines, but I know that is not their strength Thankfully, the majority of our environment is virtual, but it would be nice to see this type of technology across some other platforms. It would be nice to have capacity planning across physical machines."
"Remove the need for special in-house knowledge and development."
"The planning and costing areas could be a little bit more detailed. When you have more than 2,000 machines, the reports don't work properly. They need to fix it so that the reports work when you use that many virtual machines."
"If they would educate their customers to understand the latest updates, that would help customers... Also, there are a lot of features that are not available in Turbonomic. For example, PaaS component optimization and automation are still in the development phase."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"The pricing can be better."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
