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…
Praveen Kumar P - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effective and can be used to host OIC and APEX
Earlier, when we created an SR (Service Request), it used to be personally addressed by a person till closure. Nowadays, users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect, a MetaLink where you find your documents. We are not seeing much personal attention from Oracle on addressing issues. People come up with different experiences and knowledge levels. There is no human guidance, and users are routed to Oracle Cloud Connect. It is good for some people who know everything and can understand everything. However, our problem may not be exactly the same as the one given in Oracle Cloud Connect. Being routed to Oracle Cloud Connect is not a good experience with the customer. Earlier, an SR used to be personally handled by a person who used to explain and give all the information. We used to go through the information, understand it, have our questions addressed, and then close it. That's how it used to happen. Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use, the UI is easy to configure, and it supports snapshots and backup integration."
"The most valuable feature is having the full features of my Nutanix on-premises applications in the cloud."
"We can do anything throughout the infrastructure from one console. This is the best for us."
"Its performance and speed are valuable. Its performance has helped me reduce costs."
"In terms of dealing with our business-critical workloads, Nutanix is a highly scalable, highly resilient, and very high-performing solution."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
"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."
"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 strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"The product's configuration is simple."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"It's reliable, performs well, and is often faster than running applications on separate machines due to optimized performance and networking capabilities within OCI."
"What I like most about Oracle Cloud Platform is the ease of getting data in and out of the cloud, and the affordable licensing."
"The product is scalable."
"I like having the ability to easily run Oracle Linux server instances and to deploy Oracle Middleware and WebLogic servers. Oracle's Infrastructure as a Service products are also very useful, and we're using those right now within Oracle OCI."
 

Cons

"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"The speed of the answers could be improved in customer service and support."
"It should not be so expensive. Its price is high, but at the same time, it does give the results it offers."
"The biggest weakness with Clusters at this point is that the adoption rate is low because customers don't know enough about it."
"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."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"Some of the interfaces aren't as intuitive as they should be."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"The product features related to the manufacturing domain must be improved."
"Though Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has robust features, improvements could be made to its authentication and identity access management, specifically in making them more seamless without using fingerprints for authentication."
"There is room for improvement for stability."
"The product could use some more development and maturity so it has more peripheral functionality already integrated."
"The configuration through the cloud is complicated. It's not straightforward."
"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."
"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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 price is high."
"The solution's licensing can be very pricey."
"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The license is a bit expensive for academic work."
"The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best."
"I rate Oracle Cloud three to four out of ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"Make sure you read the fine print."
"The price of the solution should be reduced to a price that people can afford."
"The subscription cost is too high."
