Find out in this report how the two Public Cloud Storage Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use for anyone with minimal technical knowledge."
"You don't have to specify your clone, availability clone, or your locations. Everything's over there. They have a receipt for the instance where we have to select the exact location of what we are clicking. The S3 storage capacity is high, and the price is reasonable."
"An important feature of the Amazon S3's system is that it offers encryption while the files are at rest. This is crucial in ensuring the security of the files being restored and addressing potential security risks. That's what I would emphasize."
"Some of the most valuable features are how convenient and easy to use S3 is. It's nicely integrated with AWS and is available on the AWS console."
"Uploads are secure and occur instantly."
"It's reliable and stable."
"Amazon S3 is easily accessible, fast and effective. Its performance is good."
"The scalability of Amazon S3 is good."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"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."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"No direct connector is available to connect Amazon S3 with other tools like MicroStrategy."

"The stability of the solution has room for improvement."
"The solution requires you to buy and use Amazon services."
"The upload speed for data and documents is sometimes slow."
"Maybe it could be a bit cheaper."
"I would also like S3 to have the ability to do dynamic websites without the need to do reconfigurations outside of S3. You should be able to switch on dynamic websites in S3, and then it works. I shouldn't need to go elsewhere within Amazon Web Services to get a dynamic website to work."
"We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
