Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations.""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 most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors.""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 most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools.""Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction.""There are a lot of options for working with the database.""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."

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

Cons
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced.""It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution.""The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors.""This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers.""If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot.""Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems.""It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software.""The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."

"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."
