Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."Previous inquiries took us almost a full day to prepare the VM to the liking of our users. Now the deployment time is below 15 minutes and users can do it on their own! That leaves us to only update the blueprints if new requirements come in or new Windows Versions are published. As we have now predefined setups the testing team can rely on common ground for their product tests. Development teams can experiment with alpha versions in a secured environment (separate VLANs) without harming production machines."
"The solution's support for scripts... has reduced the man-hours it takes to deploy and support applications because we don't have to rewrite all the scripts."
"One of the most valuable features is the hardware and how they have set it up to be pretty redundant. If something goes down, you can just swap it out and you're back online. If a drive or even a whole node goes down, it's pretty easy to get it back up and running."
"I like being able to expand my workload with Nutanix Cloud Manager at the best cost."
"Nutanix Prism Pro and Nutanix AOS have greatly improved our organization by providing a reliable and simple solution that requires little to no maintenance in order to successfully offer a stable service to our clientele, as opposed to the competitors."
"It offers high availability and consistency."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Prism Pro are the user interface is quite easy to understand and it provides easy management for administrators."
"Nutanix Prism Pro improves the quality and efficiency of IT operations for the modern datacenter. Powered by the machine learning and task automation, Prism Pro intelligently optimizes capacity, proactively detects performance anomalies, and enables the IT team to automate operations tasks with ease and confidence."
"The most valuable feature is the metering capability."
"It doesn't take long to develop an automation blueprint. You need about half an hour, and then you can install or deploy it on several systems. That was our first great advantage in the project because we urgently needed to deploy across many different systems."
"The product provides excellent daily reports."
"The way the dashboard works with the main orchestrator to combine different types of cloud providers is helpful."
"I like the integration with other applications or vendors."
"The most valuable feature is that it allows us to compare the billing between the clouds."
"The flexibility is the product's most valuable feature."
"This solution has made us aware that we are over-provisioning our virtual machines."
"The licensing procedures are not smooth and easy."
"Even though it's a lot easier, it could be a bit slicker for the end-users. The ability to create their own blueprints could be without their having to understand the details of what they're trying to do. If they could just tick this, this, this, and this — whatever they need — and it would go spinning those up, that would be better. Now, we still guide them quite a bit."
"Nutanix has room for improvement around the partner tools and making them approachable and easier to learn."
"I'd like them to offer a more flexible licensing model."
"Our sister company currently uses an outdated database technology, Sybase, which presents challenges in migrating to a newer database. Despite our efforts to encourage them to move to a different database, the company's 25 years of code and data basic make it difficult to do so. We are open to any level of support or guidance that can help us manage the Sybase database, even if it's not a fully managed solution. Direction on how to scale, improve, and optimize tables and queries within Sybase would be greatly appreciated."
"I think the Prism Center needs to include more functions. I know that they're including the Nutanix Era, which is the database management and disaster recovery tool. I think that Era should include everything on a single tool where you can manage everything you need inside your organization."
"In the next release, I would like to see more cloud providers like Micro BH or local providers."
"Nutanix Cloud Manager could partner with more partners to bring technologies that align with the area's policies and business needs."
"The product needs some investment in configuration. I would like to see better and more optimized configuration in the tool's future releases."
"There are some kinks to resolve with the Web GUI user interface, as it freezes at times."
"It's not always easy to find the information you need. You must have a lot of technical experience to find the right location for what you're implementing within the program."
"If you haven't established a vSphere cluster and you only have a single server to integrate, you can't deploy any service."
"The knowledge base is not available for the engineers, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It would be a good idea for VMware to be compatible with the most popular orchestration tools in the market."
"The pricing model is complicated and would be more predictable if it were simplified."
"Better integration with other VMware toolsets would be beneficial."
