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.

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

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."

"We can add VLAN and update it."

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"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."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

More HPE OneView pros

"The most valuable features are the dashboards."

"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."

"Resource monitoring is the most valuable feature."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its storage flexibility, linear scalability, and perhaps ease of use and powerful support."

"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."

"Has a user-friendly UI with a centralized console."

"One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings."

"Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"The logs are not proper."

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

"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 had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

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

"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."

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

More HPE OneView cons

"On the technical side, although you don't need a shutdown to upgrade Nutanix, for downgrading you do. If it were possible that when downgrading CPU or memory you didn't have to reboot the VM, that would be very helpful for us."

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

"The dashboard visibility could be improved."

"The cost is a negative aspect."

"Nutanix does not support all of the Linux distributions, so we have to use VMware in some cases."

"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."

"One thing I would like to see is one-click migration. I know that's on the roadmap, but we don't have it yet."

"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"HPE could lower the price."

"Use it. It is free."

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

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

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

"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."

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is one factor that could be better. The cluster licensing and how it works is another."

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

"The licensing is fairly high in price. If someone can get over the fact that the licensing is fairly expensive, I would say Nutanix is the way to go. It is expensive, but to me, it's worth it."

"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."

"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."

"We have spent a lot of money on the Nutanix solution with Prism. Yet, for this amount of money we could be buying high-end storage with a lot of IOPS and bandwidth, even more than with Nutanix."

"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."
