We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and VMware Postgres based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are a lot of options for working with the database."
"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."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"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."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
