Featured Reviews

Khurram Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently manage virtual machines with robust disaster recovery
Nutanix Prism is mainly used for our daily operations, similar to VMware. Despite the lack of extraordinary features, it efficiently manages our daily operations now that we are managing our VMs. One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.
Chris Childerhose - PeerSpot reviewer
Even moving the service over to another server can be done very easily. Although, having the ability to automate some things would be nice.
Customer Service: Customer service is 10/10. The sales rep I dealt with was great and always stays in communication. Technical Support: Technical Support is 10/10. They have a chat window, where you can start a chat after you log in to your server if you are having a problem. They even have a way to create a ticket from the login screen in the configured options, in which you can attach logs directly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable and reliable."
"Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly."
"Because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using."
"The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism."
"The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery."
"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"I am extremely satisfied with Nutanix Prism, giving it a rating of nine out of ten."
"The ability to analyze my virtual infrastructure data against a rule base of 730+ rules has been the most valuable."
 

Cons

"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"The initial setup is extremely complex. I am Nutanix Certified, so I had the ability, but there were still things that we weren't trained in. They mandate—not recommend, but mandate—having an approved installer do it, and it was a very painful process. The installer that we took from CDW was not good, in the extreme. I had to go back to Nutanix directly and get all the problems fixed."
"Nutanix Prism does not have a built-in backup tool."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"Performance metrics and analytics could be improved."
"Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform."
"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."
"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."
"Having the ability to automate some things would be nice but is not a requirement with the product today."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Prism is affordable. It depends on the category of license you select. They have multiple options, and we selected the one that was suitable for our infrastructure and requirements. The licensing model worked for us."
"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."
"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."
"This product is cheaper than using VMware."
"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."
"The license we bought for Nutanix Prism is perpetual, so once you have it, you can keep on using it. It's a three-year license that's paid one time. The license we have covers the three-node cluster."
"A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."
