Nutanix Prism Reviews

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 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. 

With this solution, the company stood out in its operations 100% for the reliability of the equipment, the speed, and the comfort of the base user to handle the applications. This solution gave us agility and security for the operating personnel, effective backup in the event of disasters, communication is extremely fast. One of the main needs of the company was to be fast in writing and reading data in storage, prioritizing the disks that is more frequent to use, and Nutanix Pro is very clear.

So our efforts with clients are 100% effective.

Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great.

A professional who is starting his career in this environment or scope would be very easy because everything is guided and thought logically to be understood quickly, in addition to having excellent support with immediate solutions.

From any point of view, business is feasible with Nutanix solutions is a win-win.

It seems to me that everything is in gear as it should be, every time an update or new package appears it never ceases to amaze me as it helps us with a 100% stable technology, to add something would be to have clear the new needs of the human being. Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform. Nutanix is ​​at the forefront and changes the paradigm with other providers because it allows simplifying daily work.

We have been using Nutanix Prism for three years. 

The evaluation of other options was not carried out, we have that tool and it had to be used 100%.

We are a company that provides services to our clients so the solution is not deployed in our company. I've deployed Nutanix in multiple environments. When deploying Nutanix, Prism is installed automatically when you create a cluster. It assists in monitoring and managing the solution.

We're service providers, selling and deploying the solution to our customers. We partner with Nutanix and I'm a technical leader.

It's helpful that you can create virtual machines using Prism, you can upgrade and replicate the firmware between two different sites using Prism Element, it's not only for monitors. The duplication and compression are good features because they also work for data in a hybrid solution. Without that, compression and duplication require a whole flash stick which increases the cost. With Nutanix it can be done even if you use a hybrid solution. You can also use multiple operating systems with Nutanix.

The solution could be improved if you combined Nutanix with AHV, because when you install Prism to manage AHV, there are a lot of commands. It might be better to integrate the commands with Prism and that would enable Prism to manage AHV. This is not currently in the command line. 

I've been using this solution for two years. 

Initially we had some issues with bugs in NTP because all of the environments use NTP servers with Windows not Linux. Regular maintenance of the solution requires one person. 

The technical support at Nutanix is excellent, they've been extremely helpful. 

The initial setup is very straightforward, you can deploy it in two hours, create a cluster with three nodes and with an operating system installed on it within two hours.

This is a great product, easy to deploy and very stable. Even if you are using VMware or Hyper V or AHV on Nutanix, it's very stable.

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

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.

Nutanix Prism is awesome. It's a simple upgrade. There is no downtime and all. There is never any worry about upgrading the solution. It's a very good product.

The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great. 

The performance flow chart is excellent. I can find out about the performance levels and all the metrics are right there for us. If we were to go to VMware we would have to deploy the vrOPs etc. You're able to see the chart and utilization screen and performance monitoring, all those things. So this is good, rather than VMware vSAN technology.

The solution offers good production.

The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. The dashboard and configuration should be much easier to use.

The migration from Nutanix to other platforms, like VMware and hypervisor, needs improvement. That is a difficult task right now, because we cannot run the two separately. It's a bit tricky.

I've been using the solution for six to eight months.

The solution is stable. It's been quite reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with it.

The solution is scalable. We don't have any issues with that.

We've only had one issue previously and it was a hardware failure. We made a support ticket and they were able to assist.

The initial setup is not complex. It's quite straightforward. 

Deployment took us one day. We were done with the installation quite quickly.

We handled the installation ourselves, along with the assistance of a Nutanix partner engineer.

Nutanix's partner was there at the data center along with us. I went through some Nutanix training as well. This was about five days and by the end, I was well-versed in deployment and other processes. We didn't face any difficulty. We knew how to face configurations and charts, etc. 

Before choosing this solution we looked avSAN technology and HPE SimpliVity. We were also looking at Dell VxRail as well.

We aren't using the latest version of the solution. It might be the latest minus one. The bank always goes for a minus version and not the latest version because of some compliance-related issues related to bank policies.

I'd recommend the solution. It's quite good. As an alternative, VxRail is also a good option.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'm very happy with this product. My workload is currently running on production on a Nutanix box, and it is working absolutely fine. There are no issues. It offers good performance and optimization. It's resilient. 

Our primary use case for the solution is for virtual machine management and storage management. I work as a technical support specialist and we're a customer of Nutanix.

The event management is a very valuable feature, and resource management is also very good. Their storage management is one of the best. They do very good deduplication and compression.

I think perhaps they can improve on the price but it is a good product. 

I've been using the solution for about one year.

We've contacted technical support for minor issues. Perhaps the response time could be improved but technically the customer support is very good. 

Initial setup was done by a specialist contractor who was trained on Nutanix so we didn't have any issues with setting up. They did a great job. 

We are evaluating other products such as VMWare, but that's for other solutions. 

Anyone considering the solution should give it a test run. Try it in your environment. Check if your applications or your credit systems are compatible. I would say to anyone who has the budget to go for it, it's a really good system.

There is always space for improvement so I would rate the product a nine out of 10.
