Provides comprehensive management with AI-driven insights and predictive analytics for seamless IT operations

The major improvement recommended for Nutanix Prism is more multi-cloud cost optimization. It shows performance and usage but is limited in detailed cross-cloud cost analysis. Improvement is needed for deeper FinOps-style ML insights that compare costs between on-premise, AWS, Azure, etc. Enhancements for the current mobile version of Prism are necessary as its functions are limited. Full mobile native control with real-time alerts and AI suggestions are required for one-click actions. Better integration with third-party tools and predictive maintenance for hardware is needed; currently, the focus is on VM and storage, not hardware life cycle. Predictions for node-level hardware failures or SSD wear-out, fan sensor alerts in advance are essential improvements, as is AI-based security threat detection focusing on unusual login patterns such as ransomware behavior or privilege escalations.

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

"The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

"There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us."

"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."

"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

"Since it includes everything in AI and machine learning, it surfaces issues, recommends exact solutions, often with a single click, and reduces costs too, optimizing resource usage, moving or resizing VMs to reduce over-provisioning, delaying or avoiding unnecessary hardware purchases through smarter capacity planning."

"It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."

"It is stable and reliable."

More Nutanix Prism pros

"The ability to analyze my virtual infrastructure data against a rule base of 730+ rules has been the most valuable."

Cons

"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."

"Sometimes the life cycle management function of Nutanix can't find the latest version of the firmware. The lifecycle management product could be more up-to-date."

"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."

"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."

"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 product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."

"I would like more insights about virtual machines. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about resource allocation and usage, so we can distribute resources and reassign them more efficiently."

More Nutanix Prism cons

"Having the ability to automate some things would be nice but is not a requirement with the product today."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."

"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."

"Nutanix is a little pricier, but the features it has are worth it."

"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."

"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."

"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."

"As far as pricing goes, it's competitive for what you get. There are probably less expensive hyper-converged solutions, but I don't think they're as mature or have the feature set that we get with Nutanix."
