We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and WhatsUp Gold based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better."
"The most valuable features are the dashboards."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"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."
"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."
"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."
"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."
"For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"I use it on premises to monitor my network database. We monitor the link up/down and use the SNMP traps as well."
"It is stable."
"The documentation is very good."
"It handles the basics of monitoring."
"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."
"The solution effectively monitors network devices and servers."
"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"The user interface is good enough."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"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."
"I wish the main landing page, the dashboard, could be organized in a way where, when there is an alert because something is wrong, I would not have to click three or four times to get to what actually happened. I wish it were quicker to get to the bottom of the problem."
"Does not yet have micro application using a company's provider."
"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."
"Nutanix Prism can be more stable because it's not as stable as VMware."
"The interface needs some work."
"Importing the maps and being able to customize them could be easier."
"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
"I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring."
"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"The licensing model could be improved. Right now, the levels are too far apart. This causes the solution to be more expensive than it needs to be."
"The product is old and not updated."
