Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
I can manage all LAN uplinks and fiber channel storage uplinks directly from UCS Manager.
Cisco UCS Manager provides cost savings by reducing the time support staff spend on long deployments.
Initially, the CapEx was higher than VMware's, but considering the operational cost over time, it has been beneficial.
For a severity one case, a call ensures immediate assistance and resolution of the matter.
With Intersight, service requests are automatically generated, enhancing the user experience and providing timely resolutions.
Regarding Cisco tech, they are pretty good.
They respond within five minutes and provide excellent assistance.
Nutanix support is excellent, and their response time is extremely fast.
Adding new chassis and extra blades is streamlined.
I would rate the scalability at nine out of ten, probably.
I rate the scalability as ten out of ten.
If there's a really complex problem, I would probably give it a ten since it gets escalated quickly.
Even after applying the upgrade, we had to patch again as there was a problem with Prism.
The entire Nutanix solution is stable.
We would benefit from advancements in AI that offer firmware recommendations automatically, reducing the need for human intervention and vendor communication.
When changes are pushed, it can take their phone line off the system for twenty minutes to half an hour.
While it has been improved from using Java to HTML, simplifying the tabs would enhance user experience.
The presales and marketing team should inform clients about resource requirements, such as RAM used by CVM, to help manage expectations.
Currently, if I want to use NKP Ultimate or Pro features, I must pay separately, and the process is not easy, especially in Africa.
Recently, we acquired an excellent bundle with significant discounts, with offers like buying three servers and getting one free, along with UCSC and fabric included for free.
As long as they can afford it, there is a setup cost involved.
The cost is high, and the license payment is not easy in Africa due to numerous intermediaries between users and solution providers.
At first, the cost seemed heavy, but over time, its cost-effectiveness became evident.
It supports ease of deployment, allowing for quick mass deployments in the data center, saving time and resources by doing so from a remote location.
Whenever there's a failure of any component, it's very easy to swap because you just disassociate that profile, remove the faulty blade, connect the new blade, and associate that profile, maintaining the same MAC address and worldwide port name.
One of the valuable features is the user interface base, specifically the C user interface.
It simplifies firmware and software updates, making it hassle-free for IT engineers.
One of the most useful features is the disaster recovery setup, which includes two clusters, one for our production server and another for our recovery site.
Nutanix makes infrastructure invisible, elevating IT to focus on the applications and services that power their business. The Nutanix enterprise cloud platform leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-grade design to natively converge compute, virtualization and storage into a resilient, software-defined solution with rich machine intelligence. The result is predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range of enterprise applications.
We monitor all IT Infrastructure Monitoring reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
