Gerges Ghaly - PeerSpot reviewer
Report and remote desktop features come in handy; price could be lower
When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers. I'd also like to improve the pricing as some of the features are quite expensive.
Arpan Rakshit - PeerSpot reviewer
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 features that I have found the most useful are the reliability of the system and the simple way to upgrade. They're also moving to a more comfortable user interface."
"The most valuable features I have found are the report and remote desktop features."
"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."
"Prism is easy to scale."
"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."
"The centralized management of Nutanix Prism is the best feature."
"I am extremely satisfied with Nutanix Prism, giving it a rating of nine out of ten."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"The automation part for Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) is great."
"It is stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"When it comes to improving XClarity, I'd like to be able to log in and have it all centralized instead of logging into a specified server and IP. I want to be able to log in and see all servers."
"They can move to something even more simple for daily user management. The way to upgrade the framework is not so simple at the moment. They can make it better in the future. These changes would require a complete redesign of the infrastructure and rethinking of the interface."
"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 pricing could be improved."
"They don't have many organized documents for troubleshooting problems. If you look at the support portal or the website, you will not get detailed information about problems or redirection to more information. They should continue working on the software solution but enlarge the documentation."
"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."
"One problem I faced when creating a VM and adding a hard disk to is that Nutanix Prism did not allow me to reduce that VM's hard disk."
"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."
"Some of the products are not interoperable for multi-cloud or multi-site tasks."
"Perhaps the interface can be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some services that need to be purchased in addition to the license."
"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."
"Nutanix Prism is not inexpensive but not very expensive, given the features we get. It's cost-effective."
"I consider it a worthwhile investment."
"The pricing was decent, average. It wasn't a Black Friday sale, but it was good."
"I rate the product price as an eight out of ten."
"The cost for the licenses was a bit expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."
"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."
