Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage

If you have different databases, each one has been created to manage a certain type of transactional data very efficiently. One has been created to manage application and accessory data efficiently. But they both have to communicate with one another. You have duplication data, and it has to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."

"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."

"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."

"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."

"With Oracle, it took around one hour to refresh the database and now, with Nutanix, it takes a quarter of that time."

"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."

"I like how easy it is to implement MySQL, SQL, and open-source database platforms."

More Nutanix Database Service pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

Cons

"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."

"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."

"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."

"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."

"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

"We faced some performance issues with Nutanix."

"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."

"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."

More Nutanix Database Service cons

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."

"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"This solution is reasonably priced."

"It's priced fairly... It's a good value. When you go looking for something from Oracle that automates things and makes your life easier, it's always going to be a minimum of $500,000. Era's nothing like that."

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

More Nutanix Database Service pricing and cost advice

"It's a very expensive solution."

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
