Amarnath Charugundla - PeerSpot reviewer
Unified management and cost-effectiveness lead to positive experiences and future savings
Improvement is necessary wherein the memory or storage should not breach 90%, because if breached, it becomes unmanageable. We have to set alerts or CPU triggering for 95% for the first warning. Other activities on nodes or file systems should be properly maintained. We must monitor the dashboard for P1, P2 alerts in the Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) file share system including SMB, NFS, objects, and blocks. Attention should be maintained for any alerts such as CPU, memory, and RAM alerts, as exceeding these creates issues within teams. If triggered to 95% and forgotten, it crosses the SLA breach, causing disturbances to application, web, and platform teams. Continuous monitoring on the Nutanix dashboard is essential. Even a highly experienced person in Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) cannot provide a 10 rating out of 10 because it is a vast system. I would rate it eight from my perspective.
Hossein Nezamabadi - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It gives more security that the data isn't going to get lost."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"Nutanix support deserves a rating of nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the storage density of the nodes. We went with the HP's low-density nodes."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"From an analytics perspective, the best aspect of Unified Storage is its locality. When you read data, you want to know that you're only reading data from the particular local storage node. It's also critical to access the data as quickly as possible from that. From a business perspective, the most important thing is ease of use. Having a combination of compute and storage makes it much easier to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Unified Storage is the ease of setting up file shares. As a global company with data centers around the world, our files clusters are accessible globally. Managing and setting up shares for our over 12,000 employees is straightforward."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"The interface is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to perform encrypted backups after any learning."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
"Replication and performance tuning are valuable features."
"The backup is reliable and intuitive."
 

Cons

"I haven't had any issues with the solution so far."
"The biggest improvement would be to make it more cost-effective from a storage node and storage perspective, so that the solution isn't such a question when it comes to cost-prohibitiveness versus potentially other vendors."
"Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) needs improvement in compatibility with Windows solutions."
"I have heard that there have been latency problems."
"Managing other storage infrastructure on Nutanix Files Storage is an area for improvement. In particular, I want to add other forms of storage from different vendors not currently in Nutanix Files Storage, to the file server, for better management."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"There is some confusion in the reporting when I have to create the report for statistics. I find it is not so user-friendly."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is in Brazil, and making the payments in dollars is tough for our organization."
"It's not the cheapest solution. It's in line with other solutions, but it offers features that the competitors don't have at any price point, especially with regard to analytics and ransomware prevention. No one else has any sort of object-based storage available. Nutanix Unified Storage is a lot more feature-rich. This is a situation where you get what you pay for."
"I assume Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) has helped reduce our total cost of ownership."
"If we compare the cost of Nutanix Objects Storage to other solutions such as VMware licenses, our current choice is Nutanix Objects Storage. This solution is more cost-effective. However, adding VMware to Nutanix would not be a cost-efficient decision, which is why we do not use it anymore."
"Nutanix is priced a bit higher than some of its competitors. A lot of Chinese companies like Huawei are entering the Saudi Arabian market trying to provide similar solutions for a lower price. It offers a good value, especially the support. Nutanix has a highly competent team. The after-sales support is excellent."
"It is not too high for what we are using."
"Nutanix Unified Storage pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Oracle Database Backup Service a seven or eight out of ten."
"The platform is expensive."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"It's an expensive solution and is an area that needs improvement."
"The only problem with Oracle is its pricing."
