Quick time to market; great return on investment
Now everything is always changing and getting more performance and getting better and I think that, this is my sense of the answer, I mean, everything is working well, comparing with other products. I don't remember any kind of set down of course or something like that I can mention. That's my understanding, yeah. The Google Anthos business model could improve. As I understand, Google Anthos is not an internal part of the ecosystem. In fact, the Google sales effort and technical team are separated. In other words, the DCP was not voluntarily talking to the GCP. For example, if you need to talk to someone inside GCP about the connection or the integration with Anthos, the person who can help you is not in GCP. You would need to speak with someone inside Google. From the client perspective, this is not good. Overall, the management of the solution could be improved. The initial Google Anthos setup could be improved.

Integrated with the personal files and knowledge management processes but is expensive

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Google Anthos feature I find the most valuable is the easy of use. In Google Anthos, you don't need to move along too many screens and so on. The interface is really helpful and understanding of the tool comes easily."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the redundancy on all levels."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is to protect the data."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"We spent a year on this ASR project and had so many issues when we attempted to do a failover. It took four to 24 hours to failover a couple of SQL VMs. During our first test deployment of NC2, it only took three or four minutes to failover and recover our VMs. This blew the Microsoft platform out of the water."
"It's easy to use, the UI is easy to configure, and it supports snapshots and backup integration."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"Its performance and speed are valuable. Its performance has helped me reduce costs."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
 

Cons

"The initial Google Anthos setup is not easy. Nothing is truly easy in the Google Anthos world."
"The product could be improved in scalability and support services."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"The pricing can be better."
"It should not be so expensive. Its price is high, but at the same time, it does give the results it offers."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"The speed of the answers could be improved in customer service and support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."
"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
"The price is high."
"I feel that the prices could be improved, but the truth is that I am very happy. The license price keeps increasing, but I am confident that it is much more reasonable than other brands."
