Provides good performance, longer uptime, and an easy way to manage our data

"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."

Cons

It's easy for users to access and saves us a significant amount of money

Pros

"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy for end users to access. They can use it like any other drive on their systems. We have mapped it in the user system so they can scan files and store them. They can use it just like an Android drive. "

Cons

"The dashboard could be more customizable "

Reduces complexity and operational overhead and offers end-to-end coverage

Pros

"Some of the features that we use include replication and snapshot capabilities, especially from remote locations to our data centers. The main benefit our company sees from using Nutanix Unified Storage is simplification. In the past, we used three-tier solutions with a lot of complexity and operational overhead. Now, we want to focus on the layers above. I want to have storage available, but I don't want to have to think about it. I want it to work without any issues. "

Cons

"The solution needs to be more open to integration with other vendors. Sometimes, we struggle with the support process. Our skilled engineers must explain our problems to everyone, even though we've already done preliminary investigations. The support team follows standard procedures, which can be painful. We're not a small customer, especially in the life sciences sector, so we'd appreciate more specialized support. I've heard Nutanix Unified Storage has teams dedicated to life sciences and healthcare; we should be part of that. "

The remote availability features are great and they have great technical support

Pros

"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."

Cons

"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."

Robust and flexible storage platform that offers seamless scalability, simplified management and high performance

Pros

"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility. "

Cons

"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."

Ensures streamlined management, simplified infrastructure, and efficient data handling

Pros

"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."

Cons

"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered. "

We could remove the latency you would get from reading your traditional SAN and combine all that into the nodes on a cluster

Pros

"From an analytics perspective, the best aspect of Unified Storage is its locality. When you read data, you want to know that you're only reading data from the particular local storage node. It's also critical to access the data as quickly as possible from that. From a business perspective, the most important thing is ease of use. Having a combination of compute and storage makes it much easier to manage. "

Cons

"Historically, it has been a hyper-converged infrastructure, so when you are looking to grow the solution, you need to scale the compute and storage. Having the ability to scale the storage independently would be a good improvement. "

Offers a higher level of granularity and more control over the security features than competing products

Pros

"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."

Cons

"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves. "
