Senior Manager of Innovation & Research Unit at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Easy to install with good support, but the deployment of applications could be simplified

If a customer is focused on application modernization or CI/CD, there are some weaknesses. The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved. There are some issues with the integration of Kubernetes. I hope they can improve it and do much better than they do now. I would like to see the deployment of applications simplified.

Has a straightforward setup process, but the scalability needs improvement

NKE could benefit from additional features that support more advanced Kubernetes functionalities and configurations. Improvements in scalability for larger, multi-tenant environments and enhanced capabilities for managing high-performance computing needs would be advantageous. For AI applications, incorporating tools to support initial phases, such as data ingestion and model training, would enhance its utility.

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 technical support is excellent."

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

"We can add some add-ons and plugins to the product if we need to."

"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."

"We can do a lot of provisioning."

"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."

Cons

"The modernization in Ezmeral could be improved."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"GUI lacks sufficient information to help with understanding the installation and process."

"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."

"We need a backup of production clusters."

"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."
