We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you.""Prism is easy to scale.""The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature.""Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution.""The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us.""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.""By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."

More Nutanix Prism Pros →

"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments.""Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS.""Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product.""The solution provides good infra-monitoring features.""The best feature is the highly flexible graphs.""It is simple.""Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique.""The power flow is great."

Cons
"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine.""One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk.""The dashboard visibility could be improved.""In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores.""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.""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.""The solution does not support creating hybrid disc clusters.""Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."

More Nutanix Prism Cons →

"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""Admins do not have direct access to the reporting.""They need a little more self-service.""ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others.""It was challenging onboarding users.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers.""ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier.""One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
