We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats.""The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature.""The most valuable feature is the easy interface.""My opinion is that this solution has very good stability.""Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations.""The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration.""Nutanix Objects is reliable.""The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."

"It is a very stable program.""Overall the solution works well."

Cons
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level.""Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings.""If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great.""The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility.""The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler.""It is challenging to configure access control settings.""The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier.""What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."

More Nutanix Unified Storage Cons →

"I would like to see more platforms added.""The Veritas support for Access Appliance could improve. They are a pioneer in the industry, and they provide an enterprise-level solution. However, when comparing the storage, they can't compete with the NetBackup solution."

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."
