The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which gives you a single place to view all the Nutanix clusters. From that dashboard, you can see and modify things on each cluster or do one-click upgrades. You can monitor the cluster's patching cycle and capacity.

It's a seamless single-pane-of-glass view, and it's straightforward to use even if a person doesn't have much Nutanix experience. It's an easy process for anyone to gather information or perform infrastructure activities. Their analytics platform is helpful, providing insight into usage, resources, patching, etc.  

Nutanix's no-code process is helpful because you can integrate most things without writing any code. Prism's centralized platform brings simplicity and transparency to your environment. It gives you visibility into your networks for capacity monitoring, and you don't want to miss any of those alerts. You can drill down into any of those activities or items you will use and view them directly from the Prism. We don't have to log into each cluster separately. 

The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself. Anyone with basic knowledge can work on a Nutanix Prism cluster. The beauty of this product is its simplicity and ease of use.

The single-pane-of-glass user experience means you can manage multiple clusters, not only a single cluster, in your data center. You can do pretty much everything from the same console. Prism management and the day-to-day activities can be done through the single console.

We use the Prism Flow module, which has the microsegmentation functionality for Nutanix clusters. That module can be accessed from Prism Central, the single pane of glass. We can build the microsegmentation and manage and visualize all the traffic.

Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform. The most beneficial feature for us has been the technical management portion of Prism. It allows us to perform both software and firmware updates for the hardware and software components of the hyperconverged platform without any perceived interruption to the service.

All of it is valuable. With Nutanix, you can run VMware or you can run Nutanix's own hypervisor, called AHV, and the Prism solution lets you manage both from one place. The single pane of glass user experience that Prism provides is pretty intuitive and simple, it's not over-complicated. And the user interface for compute, storage, and networking is very easy because everything is right where you would expect it. Any options that you need are all within the Prism interface. Overall, it has a nice GUI and it's easy to understand and navigate.

And for optimizing performance, it does a pretty good job because there's a feature that lets you drill down into VMs that may be constrained or that are "bully" VMs. You can tell which are the ones where you may need to adjust the memory or CPU.

In addition, it's easy to spin up VMs and makes cluster maintenance easy, especially with the LCM (Life Cycle Manager) that is built-in. That helps do installs of AHV or even ESXi. You can also upgrade the AOS software that runs the Nutanix clusters. And you can upgrade the firmware, which is nice.

And while we don't have it set up, you can turn on self-service so that people can create their own VMs and manage their own machines.

The HTML5 interface is very robust. It's easy to access and easy to use. It is powerful. It has a lot of good features.

One of the features we're most thankful for is certainly the one-click upgrades. Being able to schedule our hypervisor for more updates, and monitor the progress and get a report if there's a problem, means we're not having to babysit them. We do all but production clusters during business hours now, whereas before, all of our environments' updates involved after-business-hours work for my team. That's been a godsend.

Also, the network topology feature is similar to what we had with VMware, and it's similar to what we had with our Brocade net manager. It's a familiar interface.

• Prism Central is easy to use.
• The one-click upgrade is fantastic.
• There is a single pane of glass for management.

The single pane of glass gives us good analytics across all the nodes in our cluster. The user interface, within Prism Element, for compute, storage, and networking is fairly easy to use.

We use Prism Central to do our runway analysis because it manages both of our clusters. We have two clusters, one on each campus. And it's a simple matter of defining the report and criteria, and it will tell you exactly how it's running and what to expect in the next X months.

The network visibility and microsegmentation of Nutanix Prism are very intuitive. It has its own internal backplane so that there's full redundancy and availability within the system.

It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment.

The most valuable features are

• snapshotting
• basic usage.

The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back.

Overall, Prism is just phenomenal. It is so easy to use.

The single pane of glass experience is great. I love it. I can see what's going on and I can tell if there's a problem and I can pick it up from there.

It also does a great job of optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's fantastic.

There's a single pane of glass that we use for 

• alerts 
• patching 
• what's going on in the storage
• cluster issues. 

You can go directly to the Prism dashboard and it gives you all the information. It's easy to use. I have worked on other platforms but the single pane of glass that Prism has is very helpful for seeing what's going on in your environment: usage, storage, capacity, and behavior.

It gives you the ability to do a deep dive if you have to do any troubleshooting. It provides central management.

If you have network segmentation enabled for the environment, you can go into the network and view what's going on. When you log in to Prism and see alerts popping up, if some of the alerts are related to the network, you can go to the network piece and see what the issue is.

And in terms of security posture, we have encryption enabled and we have been using Nutanix Flow for managing our environment and seeing the traffic.

The auto-update option is a good feature that we've found to be very valuable and has saved us a lot of capital. It enables the running of tools to upgrade Nutanix clusters from a single pane of glass. The system automatically manages the VMs on top of the clusters. It will patch each of the nodes and once updated it will automatically move the VMs back into the load balancing session. Traditionally, this was a time-consuming manual process. 

Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling. However, it is expensive. It provides high performance, which is attributed to data locality. It also supports scale-up storage and RAM, allowing for flexible expansion within the box. Other vendors like VxRail and Azure Stack do not offer this capability. It has comprehensive management and reporting functionalities integrated into the product. Managing virtual machines on Nutanix is much easier than VMware or Hyper-V clusters.

Prism Central offers a single pane of glass user experience to manage all four of our nodes. If I want to log in to one specific cluster, I always use Element, but I use Prism Central quite a bit as well, and that's mainly for the management of our remote offices.

The Prism user interface for compute, storage, and networking is also very easy. There's a simplicity to it that makes it easy to understand. When building a VM, although there's no step-by-step guide on how to set up the VM, it's all in one small window. As long as you go step by step, it's very easy.

Upgrading of virtual memory, CPU usage, disk space, et cetera is done on the fly so you don't have to reboot anything. That helps us a lot.

Also, because in my role I create a lot of reports, it is very handy to be able to show the customer, "This is your cluster. At the moment, you are using this much CPU, this much RAM, and this much storage." I can give them information on what they're using, how many VMs, and the amount of data they're using. For me, overall, the best feature is the information I can give to the customer.

The part of network visibility that I have at the moment, because we don't have the full set yet, looks good. I see the controller IOPs and the cluster latency. But we mostly look at the storage, memory usage, and CPU usage. We're located in the Netherlands. Our internet lines are very good and stable. We don't have a lot of issues with that.

We're now upgrading our Nutanix licensing and we will also be able to see the network and infrastructure. We will be able to see how much a company is using over the internet. We will have the full networking capabilities, so we will be able to see how far and where a line is going, from which cluster to which switch, and then router; the whole structure.

The single pane of glass means we can see all six clusters in one view. We can see how much memory is used by every cluster, as well as the storage, latency, and CPU usage. Everything is in one view. For me, that's very convenient. There is also a dashboard for people to look at. We have put it on one of our TV screens so that everybody can see what the status is at the moment: Is there something going wrong? Is there a critical warning? That's very helpful.

We can also see how far the high availability goes. If it's green, it's still in high availability. There is a little mark saying, "If you go beyond this, your high availability is gone." That helps us a lot in terms of storage, for example, to see if we need more disks or if we need to upgrade.

Another feature is that you can make your own dashboards and change how you see information. I like the visuals. For example, with storage, you see the blue bar and see resilience data and that the resilience is okay. If it goes past that, and we had that happen one time, it gives a warning and it pops out so you know exactly when to act. Visually, it looks good. And you now have dark mode, that's what IT people like, so they're all happy.

The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point. I just have to go to Prism and, from the main dashboard, I get most of the statistics that I need at a glance. And I can drill down further in the environment through the Prism interface if I need to.

Nutanix's single pane of glass is very good. It's quite convenient. I'm seeing the concept more in other products nowadays, but when we first started using Nutanix, it was more unique. Nutanix was one of the first vendors I saw that was able to really unify so much of their product into that single management pane.

And the Prism user interface for compute, storage, and networking is extremely easy to use. In terms of the network, once it is set up, other than watching traffic, we don't really change things very often. But when it comes to storage, I can create and extend storage pools, and make modifications to storage. Obviously, I can also see how much storage we're using. I can also make changes to our replication factor, the tiering. All those things are very simple to do. Most of them are mouse-click interfaces. I may have to enter a couple of values, but there's no code or command lines. It's all extremely simple, GUI-based management. The compute is the same thing. We can see what we're using, resource-wise, very easily at a glance from the dashboard. We're able to see if there's any unusual activity such as high CPU or memory usage. We can drill down and find out what's going on with that, with relative ease.

The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism.

In addition, the user experience in the single pane of glass is excellent. It is very easy to manage all the workloads, whether in production, dev, or test. We can check all the alerts. If there is any upgrade or if something goes wrong with a VM, we find out in advance because we have set up alerts. We are running a script so we get alerts, in advance, about multiple things before there is a crash or a disaster situation.

The dashboard has all the information about resources available, as well as any related alerts. You can just click on a hyperlink and it will take you to that location where you can get more information. It's really very helpful.

For compute and networking, it's very safe and secure. It has its own internal network and that keeps our data safe and encrypted, which is really good. The network visibility and microsegmentation are also very helpful. If there is any network-related issue or a bottleneck, whether on our end or at the ISP, we can monitor everything from there. We can see IOPS information and, if something is going on with a specific VM, we can see why the network is high, figure out the issue, and sort it out easily using Prism.

Another helpful aspect is the replication factor, whether it's RF2 or RF3. If there are hardware issues, it automatically migrates the metadata to somewhere else, and we have availability. There is zero downtime.

With the AHV, we can plug something in to add more CPUs or more memory without taking those particular services or that particular VM down, which is great. There are also workload migrations based on resources and utilization. In addition, we can create a template for any VM and use that to very quickly make a clone, more quickly than with VMware. And from a data backup point of view, we have snapshot backup and replications that are faster than VMware.

All of the features are very interesting, especially Nutanix Insights. It does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines.

I also appreciate the software and firmware patching. It gives us a single-click option to update both. I strongly applaud the way they treat customers, with software and firmware updates, and everything they do to make management of software and hardware resources easy.

We also get a single-pane-of-glass user experience that is well-aligned and helpful.

The usage is very easy and descriptive. They have made improvements to the interface that are very interesting. It's very good. When they released a new version they gave it a nice look, making it easier to use and manage.

The microsegmentation is a very interesting concept here. Nutanix deploys the network very well and in a very interesting way. Even someone who has no network knowledge, but has a little technical knowledge, can easily use and manage it, because the solution uses real language to describe the resources and the elements inside. Nutanix microsegmentation is very easy and good for the user.

Also, the solution's machine learning and AI do a lot when it comes to optimizing performance. Obviously, the only things needed from this kind of software are management and insight. They help reduce the burden. Because Prism Central sees everything related to your resources, it's very good.

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 biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point.

Another feature I use heavily is the data protection. I log into Prism to schedule a snapshot to be taken of our virtual machines at different intervals. That means we take more frequent snapshots of critical workloads, while less critical are done once a day. I set the schedule to retain the snapshots for a certain amount of time, and then they age out, so they don't take up extra space. All that is done through Prism.

And the user interface of Prism in the single pane of glass is very intuitive. I use it to look at the health aspect of our system. You don't have to go through a manual to figure things out. Their dev team has done a really good job of arranging things in the UI. I like it. It's very simple to use.

Deploying virtual machines is also very easy and intuitive.

We're not using the microsegmentation, but the physical and virtual aspects of the networking are very clear and easy to understand.

Among the most valuable features are the

• reporting
• Nutanix Files
• Nutanix Calm
• Nutanix Flow.
  

Also, Prism Central is a single point to manage every cluster. Everything can be managed in one panel. Everything is there on the main page of the dashboard.

It also provides good visibility into our networks.

In addition, because Nutanix has cost management abilities, we can see how to optimize the capacity of our Nutanix products. We know when our storage will run out and when we need to buy more. This is good for the efficiency of our IT organization. The capacity planning is good. I would say it has improved our IT efficiency by 30 percent.

We have a data protection team and Nutanix Data Protector is good. It really helps by taking snapshots in a short time. Our data protection team's efficiency has improved by about 50 percent.

The security of the solution is also good.

The main dashboard itself has been very helpful. If we ever have any issues, we are able to get back on the dashboard to take a look. The management is very easy with Nutanix. With such a dashboard where you have all the visibility you need - including access to alerts or issues, you have great control. 

The setup is simple. 

The solution is scalable. 

It is stable and reliable. 

What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see.

With Prism Element, you can do just about everything from a single console. The user experience of the console in Prism depends on what we are doing, but overall, if we bundle together everything that we could possibly do in it, I would give it eight and a half out of 10.

And as you are building out things like protection domains, it lets you see what's connected to what. It lets you visualize where particular applications or particular VMs sit: in which groups, on which cluster and, ultimately, where they would end up if you were to activate a protection domain or migrate workloads across. And in terms of hardware, there's a diagram view that lets you see which disks and which hosts sit on which boxes, what belongs to which models, and the associated serial numbers as well. It does a pretty good job of helping you visualize.

Prism has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console. It offers a lot of features and software. 

Nutanix Prism is popular in the Indian market, particularly in enterprises where they need a DR type of environment, and where they look for less than finite RPO and RTO. If you have this environment on-premises, and if you can just rent out some portion to any of the service providers, then you can easily set up a DR environment to give you a finite list versus RPO and RTO.

Its scalability is valuable. It's scalable and fast.

The Nutanix Prism user interface is also good.

One of the good features is that I tried a few firmware patches and updates and there was no downtime. There was one case where it prompted that it would cause an outage on the host, but I was able to just click and update everything else and it happened in the background without any impact on the production loads.

It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage.

Prism is also quite comprehensive when it comes to reports. You can pretty much schedule and run reports of whatever you want. The reporting is already quite mature.   

For me, the most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go. I can see how much storage we have left or if we need to consider purchasing an additional node to expand the cluster. That's what I first look at.

They populate the dashboards by default. Adding a widget is extremely easy. It's just a couple of clicks. And customizing the data density is a matter of choosing small, medium, or large. It's like: "What t-shirt size do you want to see?" It's a simplistic interface. Nutanix certainly takes its users, and the user experience, very much to heart.

There are also some great built-in dashboards that allow us to get some customer reporting performance statistics and to get a feel for what the future is. There's some reporting that does a "flash forward" to six months down the road with predictive usage for the cluster.

In addition, I have Life Cycle Management for updates. I'm primarily responsible for keeping the Nutanix infrastructure up to date with the latest code and the Life Cycle management takes care of that in a very small number of clicks. In other environments, I've run VMware with the Cisco offering for UCS, making sure that firmware and software all match up and that they don't fight. That was a pain. Nutanix's Life Cycle Management puts it all in one place and does all that legwork for me. When it comes time to run an upgrade, I click the button. It runs through the pre-install checklist, does a sanity check on itself to make sure that everything is inventoried properly, and then it applies the updates. I can walk away and have supper, or go to bed and wake up the next morning, and it's done.

We also have some disaster recovery and business continuity plans, using Nutanix and its data protection offerings. We have some protection domains that are set up to replicate virtual machines between sites. And that's something that was, once again, very intuitive and easy to set up. Scheduling those jobs and getting the status of those data protection jobs was very simplistic. If something fails, you get an alert email and it tells you exactly where the failure occurred.

There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us.

And the user interface for Nutanix for compute, storage, and networking, while it's very new for us, is not very difficult. It's very intuitive. Compared to what we had in the past, it's very new.

The most valuable feature of Nutanix Prism is the capacity strength.

Usually, my company attempts to provision or propose Nutanix Prism when our customer asks for simplicity in their infrastructure. Simplicity and unified management are options or advantages when it comes to Nutanix Prism. Nutanix Prism is a complete infrastructure solution as it offers reduced complexity and gives users the option to use its unified management capabilities. With the product's features, a user can extract different kinds of reports and what is going on in their environment and infrastructure while having the option to look into how it can be optimized and how troubleshooting can be carried out better. The aforementioned details are the reasons my company prefers Nutanix Prism.

Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature.

Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR. 

The dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it.

The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables. 

The snapshot capability is a big advantage because it processes within minutes and is not limited by a virtual server's storage capacity. We are able to provide immediate backups to customers. 

One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings.

The most valuable features are micro-segmentation, automation, and central management between sites. By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware.

The most valuable feature would be performance. Since we began using Nutanix the performance for virtual desktops is much better. It's easy to manage Nutanix with no downtime during periods of maintenance. There has also been a big improvement in the dashboard which is now very easy compared to earlier solutions.

We have found the seamless integration feature most valuable. It offers computing, storage and network to support workloads. It is also seamless to monitor and have visibility over applications across on-premises locations and your multi-cloud environments.

The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support.

The most valuable features are those used for day-to-day operations, such as creating VMs and configuring storage. For example, it can be used to upgrade the clusters, hardware, and virtualization stack.

I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations.

Nutanix Prism is very simple to use compared to other products. I have tried a number of tools, including VMware ESXi. Nutanix Prism is much simpler to use and we feel data transfers in it are very fast. That's why we approached them originally.

Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly. 

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'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.

For me, the speed of cloning virtual machines and the hyper-convergence feature are the most valuable aspects of the solution.

The solution is quite stable.

The pricing is fair. It doesn't strike me as being overly expensive. 

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.

The GUI and the dashboard are impressive. I like that you can modify the GUI and the dashboard as per your requirements.

The gateway is a hypervisor and with their hyper-converged platform, customers are free to choose any hardware or comparable hardware.

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. 

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

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.

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.

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

Nutanix Prism is easy to use.

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

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

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.

The most valuable features are the dashboards.

Prism Central, which is an aggregation of many Prisms, is very helpful.

Extra products are able to integrate directly into the Prism console.
