Integrated with the personal files and knowledge management processes but is expensive
The customer is a company in Thailand. They use Nutanix Cloud Clusters for file sharing and integrate with personal file share and knowledge management. Our customer attaches a file service with a login and connects with WiFi for cloud content, such as second documents or email access files…

Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing
We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the redundancy on all levels."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"Our previous solution was inconsistent and took a long time to recover. NC2 consistently delivers full disaster recovery in a few hours. That was a huge selling point. We need to know that our business can be up and running in hours, not days. We didn't have a real disaster recovery plan before NC2. That's a goal we've been trying to achieve, and Nutanix gives us what we need to make that a reality"
"We spent a year on this ASR project and had so many issues when we attempted to do a failover. It took four to 24 hours to failover a couple of SQL VMs. During our first test deployment of NC2, it only took three or four minutes to failover and recover our VMs. This blew the Microsoft platform out of the water."
"Having a single pane of glass where you can have both your on-prem and anything else that you spin up within AWS is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
"The solution offers many features and it is a complete replica of our data center."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"The initial setup of Oracle Cloud is simple...It is a scalable solution."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"Overall, there are some very good features on Oracle and it offers good customization capabilities."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
 

Cons

"The pricing can be better."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"It should not be so expensive. Its price is high, but at the same time, it does give the results it offers."
"The interface organization can be better. If we can, for example, organize virtual machines by groups, folders, and sub-folders, it will be easier to administer and monitor."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"The product could be improved in scalability and support services."
"The reporting has room for improvement."
"They could improve their global presence and marketing strategy to compete effectively with the likes of AWS."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"The solution's scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"It could be improved on the user-friendly side."
"I work with many clouds and I would say, in comparison, others have a better presentation of services and they have clearer steps in terms of implementation."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"The scalability requires some improvement. This is one of the most important things they need to get better at."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are positives and negatives to licensing. It all makes sense now, but it took a while. When the licenses first changed, it was a bit confusing."
"I am working on one configuration that is priced at $50,000 USD, whereas another one that I'm working on is estimated to cost $250,000 USD."
"The price is high."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"The licensing portability can be very interesting. At the moment, I am working with Nutanix Appliances with the AHV as a hypervisor. I did not have a chance to ask for portability between platforms, but it will be good if you can have portability between multiple types of platforms."
"I feel that the prices could be improved, but the truth is that I am very happy. The license price keeps increasing, but I am confident that it is much more reasonable than other brands."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month."
"The pricing is the best."
"The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap."
"Pricing needs to be improved."
"The costs involved are low when it comes to Oracle Cloud, especially when compared to AWS."
"There is an annual and a subscription option."
"The licenses for this solution are very comprehensive and, therefore, very economical; there is only one cost, and it covers all available features without any chargeable add-ons."
"We pay the subscription cost."
