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."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"I like how easy it is to implement MySQL, SQL, and open-source database platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"Nutanix Era effectively reduces operational overheads by streamlining the application team's implementation of multiple environments."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"With Oracle, it took around one hour to refresh the database and now, with Nutanix, it takes a quarter of that time."
"Management and provision are the most important features of Nutanix Database Service."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."
"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 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."
"We have a regular license program because it's really expensive."
"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"There will always be room for improvement, there is nothing perfect from day one. There are some technical challenges that we have with NDS. I believe with time it will be sorted out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
"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."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
