Stable with great replication and snapshot capabilities
We primarily use the solution for versioning. The clusters are on my private cloud.  The fact that snapshot, replication, and management are tied together all is important due to the fact that if your snapshots are too big, you can have problems going ahead and replicating to the other clusters.…

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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the redundancy on all levels."
"The solution can scale well."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick configuration and installation."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Clusters is its storage infrastructure."
"We can do anything throughout the infrastructure from one console. This is the best for us."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"It's a private solution, mainly. But with VMware on AWS, the best part is the ease of migration from VMware to VMware."
 

Cons

"I'd like more flexible options to get in and out of migration modes."
"In the current version, we've noticed many false positives when we check the alerts in the morning. For example, it told us that services stopped working, but there was nothing wrong when we checked it out. We've already raised the issue with support. They told us it's a bug in the version we use. We're about to upgrade to the recommended version, so it should be fine."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"The most significant improvement would be to streamline the starting point so that we could kick off the deployment with one node and then scan out that deployment without a need to restructure or reformat anything."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"It should not be so expensive. Its price is high, but at the same time, it does give the results it offers."
"Our biggest complaint is that we constantly need to open support tickets about bugs when we upgrade to the latest version. For example, our static IPs failover into Azure but switch to DHCP."
"The platform's cost could be reduced."
"There is one thing for improvement. To connect with VMware Cloud on AWS, you need to connect via some sort of IPS. Previously, there were no IPS features available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has been more costly at this point. We do not see any cost savings."
"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."
"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."
"The price is high."
"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."
"The licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"The pricing depends on the version and the number of virtual machines. Based on that, the cost can vary."
"The product is expensive."
