Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem.""The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors.""One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era.""The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting.""There are a lot of options for working with the database.""What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions.""It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed.""This is a very useful solution for database management."

"The product's feature of data transaction works fast.""It works very well with large database queries.""The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent.""Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities""RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase.""The solution can scale."

Cons
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems.""Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure.""The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era.""If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot.""It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software.""There is room for improvement in the pricing structure.""The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era.""This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."

"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL.""Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient.""It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools.""Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy.""They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great.""I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""The availability could be better.""The product is pretty hard to configure."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."
  • "Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."
  • "Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."
  • "It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced."
  • "Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
  • "The pricing is competitive."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
