Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"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."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"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."
"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 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."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
