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

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

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

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."

"Deploys faster new virtual services."

"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."

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

More HPE OneView pros

"The biggest plus that I want to commend them for is definitely their one-click update/upgrade feature. I use Prism for that and it's so amazing. That, by itself, is a selling point."

"By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."

"I don't know how to explain how much time and effort switching to Nutanix HCI has saved us. It's 80 percent more time-efficient and convenient than having to use multiple interfaces to deal with storage and compute in our hypervisor."

"It can combine computing, storage and networks in a single location."

"What I like the most are the self-healing and the ability to see everything at a glance, from metrics to the resiliency status of the hardware. As soon as you log in, that's what you see."

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

"It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."

"Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

"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."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

"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."

"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."

"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

"With our previous storage solutions or hardware platforms, when there was a failing component, the replacement component was shipped out the next day. There was no user interaction needed for that process. With Nutanix, sometimes I have to open the ticket to begin the hardware issue... The process itself is not extremely clear and I've been assured that that process will be improved in the very near future."

"The dashboard visibility could be improved."

"Nutanix Prism could improve by having more features or configurations in the web interface. We should not have to use the command-line interface(CLI). For some clients using the CLI can be difficult."

"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."

"The replication we have does not have any backup systems built-in. We have to separate license records for backup, like onboard. We would like to have this in a future release."

"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am happy with the price."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

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

"HPE could lower the price."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"Use it. It is free."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."

"Sangfor is cheaper than Nutanix."

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

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."

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

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

"Microsoft Hyper-V is free, whereas Nutanix isn't. Nutanix isn't so expensive. VMware is more expensive than Nutanix, but with VMware, there aren't many licenses, whereas, in the case of Nutanix, we need to upgrade the license periodically. It could be every three years or five years. It depends on your license. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fee."

"The license for Prism is costlier than other VMs."
