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

"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."
"Simplicity of use."
"Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution."
"Nutanix Prism is popular in the Indian market, particularly in enterprises where they need a DR type of environment, and where they look for less than finite RPO and RTO. If you have this environment on-premises, and if you can just rent out some portion to any of the service providers, then you can easily set up a DR environment to give you a finite list versus RPO and RTO."
"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"The ability to analyze my virtual infrastructure data against a rule base of 730+ rules has been the most valuable."
 

Cons

"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."
"We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."
"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."
"There are no firewall policies."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"Having the ability to automate some things would be nice but is not a requirement with the product today."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."
"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."
"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."
"The good thing about Nutanix Prism is that we don't have to pay for a hypervisor, but their licensing cost is a little bit on the high side."
"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."
"...we use it for small and medium-sized businesses. For those companies, Nutanix is too expensive, it's for bigger businesses..."
"Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions."
