Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors.""It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks.""AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis.""It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed.""It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era.""The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem.""This is a very useful solution for database management.""We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"The solution is stable.""The stability of this solution was very good."

More VMware Postgres Pros →

Cons
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution.""Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure.""If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot.""The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors.""The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors.""The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."

"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization.""It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
  • "Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
  • "Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
  • "It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
  • "Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
  • "The pricing is competitive."

  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
