A highly stable and simple solution used to effectively migrate VMs
The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity. Nutanix Move is a seamless product. You point the solution to your VM. It runs the scripts on the VMs and runs a bunch of scripts on it. Once done on the VMware side, it powers the VM down, disconnects the mix so you don't have any conflicts on your network, and brings up the converted VM on Nutanix, and you're back to work. Depending on the size of the VM and how much data you're seeding, it might be an hour, a day, or two. After the converting piece or a minute's cutover, the solution runs the final scripts, syncs up the last data, and you're back up and running. Nutanix Move is very seamless and does not impact the business.

Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is how simple it is and the benefit of what it does."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"We can change the hypervisor without any downtime."
"Nutanix Move has changed helped in making the painful process of migrating from one hypervisor to another better."
"The easy migration is the most valuable feature."
"The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."
"This solution has many data sources; they connect to many, many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."
 

Cons

"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V."
"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V. However, we do not have customers who want to, but if we could reassure them that it was possible it would be better. Having our Hyper-V customers have a two-way option that may help. A customer would like to hear that if they do switch they can switch back. I know it's a limitation on Hyper-V but not a limitation on VMware."
"When you have regular questions, like how do I do something in the tool or when you want to know when can I do anything in the product, the solution's support team can take around three to four days to give you an answer, or they may even sometimes take more time."
"We'd like Nutanix to be more flexible in the future."
"We cannot use the solution to move a machine from Nutanix to other hypervisors."
"I think Nutanix Move could be improved by adding a way to retry failed migrations. Sometimes when seeding fails, there's no way to redo it without recreating the whole migration plan. I'd like a button to restart the process without creating a migration plan."
"They should have some tools to migrate the workload from another Nutanix platform."
"Nutanix Move could be made more scalable, so you could do more instead of taking five or ten VMs at a time."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."
"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
"I think lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."
"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is bundled as part of the Nutanix license."
"It is a free tool."
"The solution is open-source."
"The product is available for free."
"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
