Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I'm using this solution for Windows and Linux servers, backup servers, and Oracle database servers. We're using a mix of two versions. We have version 7 and version 6.60. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are currently six people using this solution in my organization. We currently don't…

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

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"The auto-update option is a valuable feature for us."
"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."
"The Clone and Snapshot features are two of the most valuable aspects of the solution for our organization. Rather than simply one-click automation the Snapshot and reverse Snapshot are great."
"You can go directly to the Prism dashboard and it gives you all the information. It's easy to use. I have worked on other platforms but the single pane of glass that Prism has is very helpful for seeing what's going on in your environment: usage, storage, capacity, and behavior."
"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations."
"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."
"Prism provides us with insights and the ability to access all the sub-components of Nutanix's hyperconverged platform."
"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."
 

Cons

"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"The logs are not proper."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"There are a few areas related to visibility on the dashboard that can be improved. It's good, but the visibility can be improved in terms of single locations."
"I think that the Nutanix Prism Pro the terms it uses, it's not very user-friendly."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
"Sometimes the life cycle management function of Nutanix can't find the latest version of the firmware. The lifecycle management product could be more up-to-date."
"I would like more insights about virtual machines. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about resource allocation and usage, so we can distribute resources and reassign them more efficiently."
"There is a need for more migration tools, especially for migrating a solution from non-Nutanix environments to a Nutanix environment, particularly for systems with shared disks."
"The cost is a negative aspect."
"The stability has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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 feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"​I am happy with the price."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."
"Sangfor is cheaper than Nutanix."
"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."
"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."
"Prism is cheaper compared to competitors like Cisco HyperFlex or HP vSAN."
"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."
"Nutanix Prism is quite an expensive solution compared to VMware."
