We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Oracle VM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The ability for us to manage all of our nodes from the same console makes systems administration very easy."
"The failover protection and the ability to expand storage and nodes with no downtime are by far the best physical features we have benefited from."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"It allows you to use ANY consumer or enterprise HDDs and SSDs, and that's a really great thing!"
"Given the high availability of the server cluster, we were able to reduce separate physical servers onto one hyper-converged cluster - this saved in OPEX and CAPEX costs immediately, along with licensing costs of the Windows Server licenses."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"The StarWind tech support is extremely helpful, especially during the initial setup."
"We are able to do maintenance by bringing down one node at a time, rather than having to schedule a complete shutdown."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"It is less expensive than VMware products. It is also a little bit more flexible, but it really comes down to price for us."
"It consolidates our servers, and improves our electricity consumption and cooling as well."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be applied at any scale."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"The solution is very stable. I don't recall any bugs or glitches. It's reliable. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is simple and straightforward, and it will only require you one system integrator to do the job."
"There's a lot of space to customize the solution if you need to."
"Its technical support is quite good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Oracle is probably the best database technology out there. I've never found anything as complete in terms of feature and functionality and sophistication."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"It is very useful for the project management of our company."
"It runs until it does not - and disaster recovery documentation is sparse and mostly unclear."
"There is no IPv6 support. That is our only issue at this time."
"They require more media visibility."
"The logs can also become very noisy when there is an issue, which is very infrequent."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"I wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"In the future, I would like to see multi-tenancy in Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"This solution offers excellent functionality but could use a stronger interface."
"One of the very important things that I would like to see in Nutanix, but I'm not sure if it's in the roadmap or not, is to have some kind of caching optimization at remote sites, to build active-active data centers more easily."
"An area for improvement would be the cyber security features."
"I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be improved, but I'm actually very satisfied with this product. There may be some possibilities to move the virtual server dismounting points or to move the server from one group to another, but I can't think of any special improvements or update features."
"The file services that they also provide need some more features, like on the Windows file server."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"It was a complex setup. It was very difficult for me."
"Integrating with the internal system is not very easy."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Its database management features could be better."
"We do have a little trepidation with systemd, as it does have a learning curve."
