Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Reviews

The most valuable features of this solution are the storage feature on the File Server. 

The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix.

Some of the features in the user interface can only be accessed through the command-line interface.

It would be great if they could improve the GUI features.

I have been working with Nutanix Acropolis AOS for more than five years.

The stability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is very good. In the five years that I have been working with this solution, I have not had any issues with stability.

The scalability is good. I have created many clusters.

The technical support is excellent. I've never received this level of service from another vendor.

I have only worked with Nutanix Hyperconverged solutions.

The initial setup is easy, especially when compared with other products.

When compared to the competitors, the price is reasonable.

I am a technical administrator. I am responsible for the installation, configuration, and management of Acropolis. 

They must consider all of the requirements for implementing this solution; otherwise, they will have stability issues.

I would rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

We mostly provide the solution to our clients as a virtual server. 

Many clients use the solution in order to move the data center in-house or to a data center in the entity itself. It helps them reduce their footprint.

The solution is stable.

It's scalable. It's software-defined storage.

The initial setup is very easy and the implementation happens quickly.

Technical support is okay.

In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us. I'd like to see the cloud come to the country, and I'd like to try using it.

The solution entered Thailand around six years ago, which is when we adopted it. 

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution is quite scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

At the time I have about ten users on the solution.

Technical support has been okay. We don't have any complaints, as the solution is working quite well overall.

The initial installation is straightforward. That said, for the first time, there may be some instruction needed, and some prep work so that you understand what's going on. However, for a new installation, it's quite easy and not overly complex.

The deployment is quick. It doesn't take more than two hours. That includes the hardware installation, not just setup and configuration.

We just need one person (an engineer) to perform maintenance tasks.

We're integrators. We're able to help our clients implement the solution.

Typically, clients pay a yearly license fee.

We are an integrator.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with its capabilities overall.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

We use Nutanix Acropolis AOS as an HCI platform.

The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV).

Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution.

I have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for approximately five years.

The solution provides good stability.

The solution is scalable, most of our customers are enterprise companies.

We have received good technical support. However, they do not support all partners the same, it is difficult for some to get involved.

This version of the solution is easy to install compared to the previous one. Additionally, configuring data storage, such as EMC or NetApp, has become a lot easier.

The price of the solution is high.

This solution is one o the top platforms in its class.

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS an eight out of ten.

We are using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for running applications.

Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, integrates with other hardware configurations, and is simple to manage.

I have been using this solution for approximately four years.

I have found the solution reliable.

The solution is easy to scale and upgrade.

We have approximately 30 clients using this solution.

The technical support is excellent for Nutanix, they are very responsive.

The installation difficulty depends on the environment but it typically is simple.

There is a license required for this solution and my clients usually purchase a two-year license with extended support. The price of the solution could be reduced, it is more expensive than competitors. You are able to receive some discounts if you meet certain criteria that make the price more comparable to others. However, the discounts tend to be difficult to qualify for. 

I rate Nutanix Acropolis AOS a nine out of ten.

We are a solution provider and my role is in pre-sales. Nutanix Acropolis AOS is one of the products that I have experience with, and we propose to customers. It is part of the hyper-converged infrastructure.

Use cases include VDI, critical applications, and containerization.

Nutanix has many features.

It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure.

In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel. As it is now, Nutanix can only integrate with external storage using the SCSI protocol.

We have been selling Nutanix Acropolis AOS for almost four years, since 2016.

This is a stable product.

In Indonesia, Nutanix is used by smaller companies.

Technical support from Nutanix is quite good.

We have experience with similar products from different vendors. This one is similar to the Cisco HyperFlex, but with different hardware. The Nutanix product is cheaper, more popular in Indonesia, and is used by smaller organizations. The customer support for Nutanix is better in terms of responsiveness and problem-solving.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes about 45 minutes to deploy.

Nutanix is cheaper than Cisco HyperFlex, although it depends on the configuration because Nutanix can also be expensive.

In summary, this product is very mature, stable, and easy to use. It is a platform that I can recommend, although it is based on the requirements and needs of the customer.

Nutanix is a popular solution in Indonesia because it can only be used by SMB customers. Ultimately, after I look at the requirements, I decide what technology will best suit the customer.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use is to replace legacy infrastructure and to improve production.

We wanted a solution that would allow us to easily manage and upgrade without a noticeable impact on the users. We found ourselves having to search for different outage windows that nobody liked in our old infrastructure.

What is also important is the reliability of the upgrade and how it works with the rest of our infrastructure. The security and encryption are also enterprise-grade, which is something that we like.

Overall, the solution works very well with our environment.

We have been running Nutanix since 2019 and it has been a day and night difference from our old infrastructure. The high availability of the CVMs along with high performance on the hosts has made transaction processing fast and efficient.

The deployment did not take long and everything on Nutanix is performing blazing fast. The simplicity of management is fantastic and the learning curve is great as well.

The most valuable features are simple management and one-click upgrades. The ability to upgrade during the day, although not recommended, works and is fantastic.

This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik.

We have been using Nutanix Acropolis AOS for one year.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

My advice is to get the ultimate license, as it is worth it.

We evaluated VxRail before implementing this solution.

In most of the cases, the clients use the solution as a file server or database with data and another solution. Mostly, there is hyperconversion with Acropolis and its hypervisor.

My experience with the Nutanix Acropolis is good from both a reseller and end-user experience.

The automation is excellent.

The product offers a quality hypervisor.

The solution offers very good customization.

The administration with the prem solution is very good.

Overall, it's quite a comprehensive solution.

The user experience is very good.

The product has a very nice user interface.

It's easy to use and has a very smooth onboarding process.

We find the performance to be excellent on this solution.

The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market.

We've been using the solution for one year at this point. It hasn't been too long.

We've found the stability to be excellent. There aren't any issues around its reliability. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's not buggy at all.

Nutanix scales better than VMware, however, the pricing is an issue. As you scale, it costs more.

Typically, the customers that use Nutanix are larger organizations as the cost is quite high and an SME would not necessarily be able to afford it.

The technical support is very good. We're quite satisfied with the level of service we receive.

We also find that the documentation is very good and quite easy to understand, which helps with the usability of the product.

We also deal with VMware. There's some competition between the two as VMware is less expensive. 

The initial setup is not complex at all. it's very easy and straightforward. The onboarding process is also nice and simple. We've had a good experience.

Between VMware and Nutanix, the price of VMware is lower. In comparison, Nutanix is pricey. 

I work for a distributor of Nutanix that also handles VMware. However, I market the Nutanix solutions primarily. We're resellers and we're a partner of Nutanix. We use both on-premises and cloud deployment versions. We tend to use Google and Amazon clouds when we use cloud deployments.

The platform is very easy to use and the administration functionality is good. Even in relation to VMware, which is cheaper, I like Nutanix best. It's easy to learn and the processes of configuration and onboarding are fantastic.

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for VDI.

The tool for operations is pretty easy to use. It has a single pane of glass and you don't have to jump around various toolsets.

This product would be improved if it included a hybrid cloud solution.

Better integration with various solutions with Citrix would be helpful, as well as perhaps working with VMware on Workspace ONE.

I have been using Acropolis AOS for approximately six months.

AOS is pretty stable and I know that they are continuing to invest, so it is improving.

This is a scalable product.

I have been in contact with technical support and they are okay. I wouldn't say anything bad.

We had another solution prior to this one, and it was a corporate, executive decision to switch.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took less than two weeks.

Yes had some assistance from a consulting firm for the deployment.

This product is less expensive than some of the competing HCI solutions.

My advice for anybody who is looking into Nutanix Acropolis AOS is to have a look at the other solutions on the market because the suitability of one over the other might depend on your business requirements and what it is that you are trying to do.

This is a good product but in the future, I would like to see them focus on integration and simplicity because it would help to make it more user-friendly.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
