Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick configuration and installation."
"The overall infrastructure is the most valuable part of Nutanix Cloud Clusters."
"The license portability is good enough."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Clusters are Prism Central, Micro-segmentation, and cluster scaling automation."
"It's easy to use, the UI is easy to configure, and it supports snapshots and backup integration."
"I've been very pleased with their support overall."
"We can do anything throughout the infrastructure from one console. This is the best for us."
"It's a private solution, mainly. But with VMware on AWS, the best part is the ease of migration from VMware to VMware."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
 

Cons

"I don't have the expertise to build a hybrid cloud. We are starting to build one and haven't tried that part yet. I want to try because that is the most critical part for us. I want to see what, if anything, could be improved. The product is fantastic locally. Now, I want to try it in the cloud. My problem is not in the infrastructure; it is in the application, a different thing."
"The product could be improved in scalability and support services."
"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."
"Quality control needs to regulate the price-quality ratio."
"Perhaps the one thing that could be improved is the documentation around the solution."
"The pricing can be better."
"There are still some things that could be improved about the product."
"We've had some challenges with the implementation."
"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 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 licensing model of Nutanix is complex."
"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."
"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 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."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing depends on the version and the number of virtual machines. Based on that, the cost can vary."
