Effective cost management achieved with robust storage features but user experience and data management require improvements

HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management. For example, it cannot make a data catalog or process data lineage without third-party support, which increases the cost for development.

Offers efficient deployment and management with easy resource allocation, yet faces challenges in integration and compatibility

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine NKE ( /products/nutanix-kubernetes-engine-nke-reviews ) offers easy and fast deployment, management, stability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The resource allocation is very simple. If we need to expand the memory, storage space, or processor core, it is very easy to manage through our central control. These features are what stand out the most.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If customers focus on primary apps or if they are using them for data science, this is a good solution."

"The stability of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is good, and I rate it an eight out of ten."

"The platform is valuable due to its ease of use and quick deployment capabilities."

"The solution is embedded in the hypervisor and there are no deployment costs."

"The solution is easy to manage. You can get everything in a single platform. It is also easy to work with Terraform as a code."

"The product integrates well with our infrastructure."

"The solution provides no downtime features. If we face issues, we create a new port, deploy it there, and then drop the existing one. This way, we avoid NKE downtime on our website."

"Nutanix's support is really good."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable features of the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) are its simplicity and efficiency during the initial cluster creation phase."

Cons

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

"HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is not user-friendly and has many parts that are more difficult than Cloudera. It is also a complex solution and has low features for data management."

"NKE could benefit from additional features that support more advanced Kubernetes functionalities and configurations."

"The product lacks some virtualization capabilities, making it an area for improvement where the solution can focus on providing users with more virtualization capabilities related to disk systems."

"I have issues with the product's interoperability."

"One major issue we faced was that appliances couldn't migrate from VMware to the tool. However, this seems to be a common problem across platforms. We've seen the same issue when migrating from VMware to RHV or other solutions. It's not specifically a Nutanix problem but rather an issue migrating appliances from one VM infrastructure to another. Some kernel-level and storage-level issues impact this process."

"There have been challenges related to software bugs, especially regarding long-term licensing options and issues within our customer network."

"We need a backup of production clusters."

"Areas for improvement in Nutanix Kubernetes Engine (NKE) include upgrading management capabilities and enhancing the user interface for improved usability."

"In the next release, I would like to have automatic dynamic scaling, both upscaling and downscaling."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product's licenses are included in the software version deployed in our data center."

"The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing as four out of ten."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"I rate NKE's pricing a six out of ten."

"While deploying Kubernetes clusters on Nutanix is cost-effective, there may be additional costs for remote branch offices where Kubernetes is less common."
