Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

IT System Administrator at Bandhan Bank

Reduced our administration and rack space significantly, with everything in one box

Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters. If we were able to manage the whole data center from the single pane of glass, it would be more helpful. I think that would help all customers. Also, Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation is limited right now to AHV clusters, meaning only Nutanix clusters. If it could integrate with all my infrastructure, I would have a pane of glass where I could manage my whole data center, including microsegmentation. They really need to extend its features beyond the Nutanix infrastructure. That is the one thing I would really like to see improvement on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"Deploys faster new virtual services."

"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."

"The initial setup is easy."

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."

"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."

More HPE OneView pros

"Nutanix Prism offers web scaling, which facilitates easy scaling."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."

"Everything has been valuable, without a doubt the server is self-managed with Prism in an efficient way, it solves possible logical errors to maintain production without interruptions, it's great."

"The recent life cycle management feature is really helpful to us. Before that, we had to do everything manually, but now it's like a one-stop shop. We can upgrade firmware and all of the software from there. Also, managing storage information and other hardware-related resources is easy using Prism."

"The storage management is one of the best."

"Nutanix Prism is very fast compared to VMware and whatever you need to do, you can do it quickly."

"It is stable and reliable."

Cons

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."

"It needs more reporting capabilities."

"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."

"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."

More HPE OneView cons

"Although this solution has very good analytics capabilities, it can be even more granular."

"The simplicity that Prism provides is something of a dual-edged sword. It can be almost too simple at times. When there is an issue and something is really wrong, it can make it a little more difficult to track it down because the Prism interface is very limited for drilling down into those highly technical or highly complicated errors."

"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."

"Nutanix Prism can be more stable because it's not as stable as VMware."

"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."

"Nutanix Prism needs more flexibility commercially and more flexibility with their licensing. Currently they're very fixed on their licensing model, for example, it's based on terabyte calculation."

"I would like to see the capability to use FC SAN storage."

"Prism is not very user-friendly, particularly in its upgrade process, compared to vSAN."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"HPE could lower the price."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"I am happy with the price."

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."

"Use it. It is free."

"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."

"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."

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

"This product is cheaper than using VMware."

"Nutanix have bundles for pricing. On a single bundle, we get everything including vSAN or VMware and there are no additional costs. It is just a single license that is needed."

"A lot of my customers complain about the price of renewals, so I think that this can be improved."

"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."

"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."
