Enhancing database management with operational efficiency but needs better compatibility

Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic. Due to increasing adoption among enterprise clients, integration with Kubernetes platforms is also needed. Furthermore, the product can benefit from improving its understanding of architectural setup and communicating its limitations to users and partners.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."

"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."

"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."

"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."

"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"I like how easy it is to implement MySQL, SQL, and open-source database platforms."

"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."

"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."

"We have a regular license program because it's really expensive."

"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."

"It would be helpful if Nutanix added a billing system for databases. We need to automate this with a separate solution. We are service providers, so it would be easier for our customers if there were a built-in system that we could use for billing."

"The initial setup was a little tedious and complex. If they could make the setup slightly more user-friendly, then that would definitely be beneficial. If they could give a clear indication of what ports are required across the business and multiple VLANs, then your prep work can be done beforehand and before you do the actual installation. Because the documentation that was provided was not 100 percent accurate, so we had to do a lot of custom firewall rules after we deployed Nutanix Era."

"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."

"The downside of this solution is that it's more expensive than its competitors."

"The solution can increase its database compatibility and backup options."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"Licensing costs will be the main scalability problem."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."

"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."
