Nutanix Prism Reviews

I am using Nutanix Prism for many types of equipment, such as servers, SAN switches, and storage areas. You are able to manage your infrastructure from one central location, such as VMs and servers.

The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the single location management. You can manage everything from one location HTML5 web interface which is highly intuitive. The solution is easy to use, you do not need to be an expert in storage. 

Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult.

I have been using Nutanix Prism for approximately six years.

Nutanix Prism is highly stable. I experienced all three types of installation, Hyper-V, ESXi, and AHV. For Hyper-V, there are a lot of instabilities.

The initial setup of Nutanix Prism is very simple. You do not have to perform any difficult operations. When you deploy your cluster and perform the workloads, it's called Foundation. When you have completed this, Prism's is accessible. For Prism Element, no configuration is required. The configuration is available once you have deployed your cluster.

The Prism Central, you only have to download a virtual appliance that is available from the Nutanix website. You deploy it where the VM is. You only have to administer your cluster and then you can manage everything in the new platform, it's very easy.

I rate Nutanix Prism a nine out of ten.

I mainly use Prism to host virtual machines.

Prism's best features include the single point of failure (SPOF) and ease of implementation.

The process of converting and importing virtual machines to the Nutanix environment is quite complicated. The interface could also be improved, and there's an issue that some features can't be managed from Prism Central, meaning you have to switch to Prism Element.

Prism is stable.

Prism is scalable.

Nutanix's technical support is really good and responsive.

The initial setup was quite straightforward, and deployment took less than two days.

We used a vendor team.

Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN.

I'd advise anybody thinking of buying Prism to consider buying their hardware and software from Nutanix to ensure compatibility and benefit from their one-click upgrade feature. Prism is an impeccable solution, and I would rate it nine out of ten.

We use Nutanix Prism to manage our CVMs.

I use this solution occasionally, although not in our production environment.

The most valuable features are Prism Central and the Disaster Recovery. These features only come in the platinum edition, as far as I know.

It is flexible because you can use different hypervisors.

I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage. Currently, this technology is not supported.

In our experience, it is stable. Given that we do not use it in a production environment, however, we do not use it on a daily basis.

Nutanix Prism is definitely scalable.

Nutanix is very good when it comes to providing technical support.

We also use NetApp HCI and there are differences between them. For example, in NetApp, the hypervisor is unchangeable and works only with the VMware version. That is one of the disadvantages. On the other hand, NetApp is scalable in terms of both storage and compute, independently. It is not more scalable than Nutanix, but hit has independency of storage and compute, which might make it more cost-effective in some situations.

Another disadvantage of NetApp is that it's more expensive.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Nutanix Prism is priced better than some of the competing solutions.

My advice for anybody who is implementing Nutanix Prism is to use the hypervisor that comes with it because there is no reason to use another one.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our government agency. They use the solution to provide support recruitment, job solutions, and job vacancy training, etc.

The logs on the solution are excellent. It gives us very good visibility.

The solution is fairly easy to use. Especially compared to other solutions, Nutanix is very easy to manage.

The pricing is very good if you compare it to other competitors.

The solution is stable.

I'm still learning about the solution. I haven't explored the entire solution just yet.

The life expectancy of the solution should be improved.

It would be ideal if there was more of a community around the solution so that it would be easier to learn things about the solution from other users.

We've had hardware compatibility issues.

I've been using the solution for one year.

The solution is reliable and stable. Thre aren't bugs and glitches or crashes of any kind. It also doesn't freeze up or stop working.

It's isn't very difficult to scale the solution. I would say this solution expands well and quite easily if a company needs to grow it out.

For me, technical support has been good. They are easy to reach and knowledgeable.

It would be good, for people like me trying to learn the system, if there was a bigger community that surrounded the product itself to help with questions I have about general usage and capabilities.

I joined the organization in January. I am unsure as to what solution was used previously.

The initial setup was difficult for us. When I tried to download it, there was a hardware compatibility issue I had to deal with.

I'm not sure how long deployment takes. I handle the maintenance myself. I'm a senior systems engineer.

Compared to competitors in the space, it's less expensive. The pricing is pretty decent.

We're using the latest version of the solution.

We're not a direct customer of Nutanix. We mostly handle support of the solution.

I'm still learning about the resolution. I'm going through training manuals and picking up what I can.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. Overall, it's been good. I'm still getting used to it though.

We are a solution provider and Nutanix Prism is one of the products that we implement for our clients. 

The most valuable feature of this solution is that you can manage your virtual environments seamlessly.

Nutanix Prism is easy to use.

Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular. 

We have been working with Nutanix Prism for the past year.

This solution is quite stable.

Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution.

Technical support is good but usually, people don't have to contact them unless they have a really complicated installation.

The length of time for deployment depends on the size of the environment. The bigger it is, the longer it takes to deploy. For an average deployment, including configuration, it will take about a week.

Overall, this is a good product and I highly recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We mainly use Nutanix Prism for storage.

The programs is very functional in case of a failure, because snapshots are taken every 30 minutes, and we also have synchronization between our two data centers. So whenever  we have a failure, we have another data center that is responds for every machine we have.

The features I find most valuable, is the integration between data centers.

Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive. It's easy, but it is very slow at the beginning. 

I am very satisfied with the technical support.

We've had no issues with the setup and installation. In terms of time, it was very fast. In terms of testing, it was very slow, but when everything had been verified and updated, the latest patches and everything, the program was working great. 

The deployment took about one month, and it was done by Nutanix people provided by Dell. We are satisfied with their work and we have an annual review of both systems. 

On a scale of one to ten, I will rate this solution an eight. What I'd like to see in the next release, is for it to be open to other platforms. That would be great, because now it's only available on Mac, IBM and Dell. Perhaps wide-open hardware would be great.

In the past we used to get alarms and an detector. Sometimes the messages you get from a problem doesn't point directly to the origin of the problem. So you have to elaborate some things for having a conclusion on what is failing. Perhaps they can improve this entire process, from beginning to the end, where you find a solution. In other words, being able to make the right decision faster.

We have a data center and provide licenses to our customers. Our company uses this solution on private cloud and our customers generally use it on-prem. We are partners and resellers of Nutanix and I'm a systems engineer.

I like the simplicity of use and the ability to have a single point to match things.

We've been waiting a long time for micro application using a company's provider, that would be a good improvement. The cost of the solution is quite high and I'd like to see that lowered. 

I've been using this solution for six years. 

I think the technical support of Nutanix is one of the best supports I have used.

The initial setup is straightforward and takes about an hour. 

In addition to the standard licensing fees there are extra costs for some functionalities such as capacity planning using Prism Pro.

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

I think Nutanix is a good solution for hyper-convergence. Since there isn't always a centralized management tool that can do everything like related that. Nutanix supports all the hypervisors, that's why I feel it's best.

The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature. I can upgrade the hardware and I can upgrade the software from there. So that's a good feature.

I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly. Those terms should be a little more user-friendly. What terms they use should be more user-friendly.

I have been working with Nutanix Prism for two years.

We haven't had any stability issues.

We haven't had any scalability issues.

I've contacted Nutanix technical support. It was a good experience.

Nutanix it is straightforward, not complex. Deploying Nutanix Prism Pro takes a maximum of one hour.

Nutanix Prism pricing is higher than other products. They sell hyper-convergence as a bundled product. That's why I bought Nutanix. If I'm going with another hypervisor apart from ASV, the price goes higher. That's where the problem is.

I would rate Nutanix Prism Pro at an eight out of ten.
