Unified storage has simplified private cloud operations and delivers strong security and ROI
Regarding areas for improvement, I think Data Lens could be enhanced from Nutanix's side, but it has been a long time since I logged into that console, so I do not remember much. It is a SaaS-based offering on the Nutanix portal. It is not something you deploy on-premises; it is not on-prem access. You connect your cluster to the SaaS-based Nutanix and then access the Lens console. I need to check it since it has been almost two or three months since I logged in. Nutanix Enterprise AI actually needs to improve a lot if I compare it with any other product such as NVIDIA and other offerings in the market. Nutanix Enterprise AI still requires a lot of work. I did not check that in much detail technically, but whatever I thoroughly checked, it still lags behind in many features. When it comes to AI-related features, I think the ecosystem of Nutanix is not as big as NVIDIA because NVIDIA has its own inferencing system and model training platform such as NeMo, NeMoTron, and others. Nutanix does not have such things. It can be built using NVIDIA CUDA libraries, but what I saw when I was testing the product is that you can run NVIDIA NeMo and PyTorch and two other things, but as a software, Nutanix does not have an end-to-end platform. That is something Nutanix should focus on.

While there are some disadvantages in this product, from my experience with basic use cases, daily tasks, integration, scheduling, saving, and encryption, I have not encountered significant areas for improvement. However, the addition of a GUI configuration management and administration console for all administrative tasks would be highly beneficial. It would be preferable to have the ability to perform all console, terminal, and command line operations through a GUI interface.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the storage density of the nodes. We went with the HP's low-density nodes."
"One of the best features of the Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is that I find everything, all the solutions, in one single box; if you look into Nutanix, the HCI plus whatever storage is required as part of the requirements, such as if applications are hosted on Kubernetes or container platforms requiring S3, NFS, or any other protocol, we can access everything from a single system, eliminating the need to manage multiple systems and different storage in the data center, as one system from one OEM provides everything."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"It is more stable and scalable compared to the Windows file server."
"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) are amazing, in my view."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"Nutanix Files is a complete solution in the Telco Machine and offers a host of benefits, including easy management, upgrading, and analytics of new data."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is an easy-to-use consolidation solution that's dashboard-driven."
"I am satisfied with the licensing policy and pricing of this product."
"The product's most valuable features are differential and cumulative backup functionality."
"I like the stability and the scalability of this product."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is stable and offers high availability, and the commands for restoration and backup processes are not complicated."
"The interface is good."
"The product works very fast. It automates a lot of operations in the background."
"From the database perspective, Oracle is the best."
 

Cons

"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"From the speed perspective of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), it could enhance some features to make it the best storage solution in the market."
"Licensing cost of Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS) is higher for smaller organizations."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"Its interface is very simplistic. It is a good thing for people because of the ease of use, but at times, I find it too simplistic. It is hard to find advanced options. They should eventually expand it and provide additional drop-down lists or menus with advanced feature sets."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"I would them to have more communication with other platforms, and it appears they are already doing that."
"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"I have been working with Oracle Database Backup Service for five years, and it has already been quite an expensive and extensive experience."
"They should base their strategy according to the country and the regulations there, and focus more on the on-premises deployment."
"Oracle Database Backup Service is not a cheap solution."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement. If you do a comparison with other products, it's more expensive and it stops a few customers from purchasing Oracle, especially the engineered systems that have the data and more, which are relatively expensive."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"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."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."

"From what I hear from the management, Nutanix Unified Storage has comparatively decent pricing."
"Price is always an area that could be made better, as it is quite expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"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."
