"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."

"Quite a complex solution."
"The solution can improve by making it more straightforward, easier to install and maintain in the environment."
"The training costs a minimum of $3,000, which is expensive and should be reduced."
