Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very easy to manage.""Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language.""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.""My opinion is that this solution has very good stability.""What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs.""We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%.""What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime.""Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."

Cons
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market.""If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great.""The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler.""The documentation on the support site needs to be improved.""I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort.""Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings.""We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage.""The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the license is expensive when comparing it to traditional storage."
  • "I find Nutanix Files Storage competitively priced, even its feature set. Its price is seven out of ten."
  • "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."
  • "It is quite expensive otherwise as it comes with three-tier peer underlying hardware."
  • "For clients running Nutanix, the licensing cost for Files is a small add-on cost."
  • "With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees. We're not a Fortune 500 company, but we deal with Fortune 500 drug and energy companies. We have to play in that enterprise space if we're going to have enterprise customers. I'm very price-conscious, but I understand that if I want the best, I've got to pay the price."
  • "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."
  • "The product is pricey."
