Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility

Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."

"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."

"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."

"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."

"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."

"This is a very useful solution for database management."

"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."

"The time to provision the database went from taking a couple of days to now taking a few minutes. That is the immediate impact we saw. It helped the team to focus more. They can now be focused on support rather than spending time provisioning, which is a repetitive activity."

"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."

"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."

"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."

"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."

"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."

"Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."

"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."

"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"The tool is expensive."

"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."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

"The pricing is competitive."
