Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to.""The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code.""The technical support is excellent.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product integrates well with our infrastructure.""We can do a lot of provisioning.""The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs."

"Tanzu itself, integrated with multiple solutions, bestows support and security upon a container platform, especially when it comes to managing open-source container platforms such as Kubernetes.""People are very pleased with the implementation.""For us, the ease of deployment in combination with TMZ was the most important part because we don't have to manually deploy a complex monitoring solution. We can more or less do that with the click of a button, and we are not dependent on the developers to provide us with all the necessary features and functions to make that work. We can just deploy it on a workload cluster and monitor at least a good part of the workload. If we want to go into detail, we clearly need to make changes, but for a good part of application monitoring, it gives us good insights.""The solution is great for virtualization and preparing the infrastructure in Tanzu to test products. It's very fast and has good visibility.""This solution allows me to have true visibility for any metrics when it comes to my cloud, and private.""The most valuable aspects of the solution are its ease of use and its ease of implementation.""VMware comes with a support team, and if you have trouble, you can easily create a ticket, and VMware will help you. Therefore, the best aspect is the support.""The features I find most valuable is the querying and alerting capabilities."

Cons
"There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network.""The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems.""GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process.""In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling.""I would like to have more nodes for availability and storage.""We need a backup of production clusters.""I have issues with the product's interoperability."

More Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE Cons →

"The main problem I have is that the license cost is very high.""The implementation is a long process that should be improved.""The initial setup should be easier and more seamless.""They could make it more easy to plug-in data so that a nontechnical person will be able to use it, like accountants or finance people. That way they don't have to ask us.""Its billing model is consumption-based. I understand the consumption-based model, but it is not necessarily easy to estimate and guess how many points or how much we are going to consume on a specific application up until we get to that point. So, for us, it would be helpful to have more insights or predictability into what we can expect from a cost perspective if we are starting to use specific features. This can potentially also drive our consumption a bit more.""In the new version, I would love to see more prediction capabilities. It would be great if one could see the alerts get a little more enriched with information and become more human-friendly instead of the technical stuff that they put in there. I think those would be really awesome outcomes to get.""The documentation and integration with Kubernetes could be improved.""I would like to see integration with Kubernetes cluster and APIs so that you can manage the entire stack."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product's licenses are included in the software version deployed in our data center."
  • "I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
  • "I rate NKE's pricing a six out of ten."
  • More Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Different locations require different setups. In your terms, around 300 to around 400K USD."
  • "I don't have the details. In our case, there is a mixture in place. We have production usage, and we are also doing training for VMware. So, we also have a training instance. It is worth the money you would spend on it. That's because if you were to build all of this yourself by using some of the open source tools, then you would need a lot of time."
  • "The licensing costs are very high, particularly when you consider that we have to purchase a level 1 license for every integration, such as the load balancer, HAProxy, and the MSSP. And if you want to use vSAN, that's another license. Then, of course, Tanzu Observability has its own separate license."
  • "I would rate the pricing as three out of five."
