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 features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"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."
"There is ease of use. It is very important for our customers to have one centralized management console. Scalability is also very important for our customers."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"The scalability is good."
"We can do anything throughout the infrastructure from one console. This is the best for us."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."
"What I like best about Oracle Cloud is that it is an all-in-one system for everything."
"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."
"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"The autonomous database functions are an excellent feature."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."
 

Cons

"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"The technical support for Nutanix Clusters could be better."
"The pricing can be better."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"The speed of the answers could be improved in customer service and support."
"When you go to the configuration part on the Nutanix site, the information is a bit high-level."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"Portability of the VMware environment into the Oracle Cloud should be made more simple."
"The product's technical support is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They could add more features."
"With the Oracle Cloud Platform, they have to give first some proper documentation with a step-by-step process. Then the customer is able to use it properly. Nowadays, the Oracle Cloud Platform requires lots of floor work."
"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"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 price is high."
"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."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"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 solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"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."
"The pricing for Oracle Cloud services is reasonable. Additionally, compared to other service providers, Oracle has a substantial presence and established infrastructure in Bangladesh. Considering all these factors together makes Oracle Cloud an ideal choice and a strong contender in the market."
"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."
"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."
"In Oracle Cloud Platform, one needs to make payments towards the subscription charges."
"Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"Its pricing is complex, but as partners, we can get away with quite a bit of discounting because we deal with them directly. I would rate their pricing probably a one or two out of five because they're quite expensive. Microsoft Azure will probably be the cheapest because depending on the Microsoft product that you have, they have some sort of bundling. There are things that they give you to get you onto Azure. AWS is probably somewhere in the middle."
"The solution's cost could be better."
"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."
