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

"The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great."
"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."
"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast."
"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."
"I am extremely satisfied with Nutanix Prism, giving it a rating of nine out of ten."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The ability to analyze my virtual infrastructure data against a rule base of 730+ rules has been the most valuable."
 

Cons

"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."
"The life cycle management or LCM feature is the most complicated. It takes really long and is unpredictable for our use cases. They should provide more detailed information about the kind of LCM to go for, various errors, and different kinds of tasks. For analytics for certain configurations, we require more details with the report. Sometimes, not all elements are present for support, management, and configuration. For troubleshooting, it would be very easy and useful if we can analyze log files directly from Prism, that is, not from the command line but directly from Prism."
"One thing I would like to see is one-click migration. I know that's on the roadmap, but we don't have it yet."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
"There is a bug with the HTML5 interface."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"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."
"There are no firewall policies."
"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."
"Sangfor is cheaper than Nutanix."
"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
"Nutanix is a little pricier, but the features it has are worth it."
"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."
"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."
"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
"The pricing is comparable to other software initiatives."
