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

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

"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."

"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."

"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."

"Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast."

"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."

"Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management; you can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive, and the solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage."

More Nutanix Prism pros

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

"With a single click, anyone can find and fix old, broken or invalid snapshots."

Cons

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."

"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."

"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."

"In our environment we are using it alongside VMware, so some integration with that would be nice. VMware has SHD (Skyline Health Diagnostics) which diagnoses health and gives suggestions. A plug-in for taking information out of it would be helpful."

"The cost of the solution is quite high and I'd like to see that lowered."

"There is a need for more migration tools, especially for migrating a solution from non-Nutanix environments to a Nutanix environment, particularly for systems with shared disks."

"The only issue with Nutanix is that when you want to take a snapshot, you have to power down and then back up, which creates a short period of downtime."

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

"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."

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

"Microsoft Hyper-V is free, whereas Nutanix isn't. Nutanix isn't so expensive. VMware is more expensive than Nutanix, but with VMware, there aren't many licenses, whereas, in the case of Nutanix, we need to upgrade the license periodically. It could be every three years or five years. It depends on your license. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fee."

"This product is cheaper than using VMware."

"The licensing is fairly high in price. If someone can get over the fact that the licensing is fairly expensive, I would say Nutanix is the way to go. It is expensive, but to me, it's worth it."

"The pricing is one factor that could be better. The cluster licensing and how it works is another."

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."
