Cons
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage.""The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail.""While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be.""Lowering the price would improve this product.""We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware.""We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage.""The documentation on the support site needs to be improved.""The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."

"The solution’s user reporting could be improved.""Setting up users on the appliance should be improved.""The solution must allow the extension of the retention period.""Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent.""The scalability could improve.""The scalability could be improved.""I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve."

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."

  • "I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing."
  • "Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte."
  • "The price of the solution is inexpensive."
  • "Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix."
  • "Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license."
  • "The tool’s price is very reasonable."
  • "The price is reasonable."
